Additional Information
- One of the first processes in the tabadmin restore process is to unzip the tsbak file. If the file is corrupted, it is not possible to unzip.
- The Windows copy process can cause the corruption, due to a number of possible reasons.
- If the .tsbak file cannot be unzipped using 7Zip or the Windows unzip, the restore process will fail.
- Tableau Server versions prior to 9.0.5 use the Windows zip process during backup and restore.
- Tableau Server versions from 9.0.5 to current use 7Zip during backup and restore.
