I had a similar error while trying a restore in 3.1.0.6.

```plaintext
d/shell 
sudo gem install thor

```

solved the missing `thor` dependency for me.

But it was a long way to restore a backup by command line:

```plaintext
Downloading archive to tmp directory...
EXCEPTION: Failed to download archive to tmp directory.

```

This was due to the last test data beeing configured for s3 backups.

```plaintext
d/rails c
SiteSetting.backuo_location="local"

```

solved that one.

After moving the backup to `public\backup\default` the unzipping went fine, but then I was struggling again with [Backup restore failing on clean dev docker env: FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user “postgres” - #6 by thoka](https://meta.discourse.org/t/backup-restore-failing-on-clean-dev-docker-env-fatal-peer-authentication-failed-for-user-postgres/208170/6)
