Two separate issues.

In the first instance, I was trying to restore from a BackBlaze backup, via the Discourse UX. I could see the backup files within the Discourse UX. However, when I click “Restore,” with it enabled in Discourse, the backup failed to restore for the reason cited above.

The second issue, since the first failed, was me restore locally, which is the only option that did work.
