Was not sure if i need this posted here or in setup.

I have a running box and everything is working perfect but i’m wanting to test restore. i followed the instructions setup a 2nd server

ran curl -s https://mailinabox.email/setup.sh | sudo bash

then entered all the information for sudo mailinabox

then attempted restore from Amazon S3 Backup via

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=paste your AWS access key ID here
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=paste your AWS secret access key here
export PASSPHRASE=$(cat your_backup_secret_key_file.txt)
sudo -E duplicity restore s3://s3.amazonaws.com/your-bucket-name/your-backup-path /home/user-data/

but i get: Restore destination directory /home/user-data already exists.

am i suppose to not have ran sudo mailinabox on the new server?
