Overwritting the root dir with a restore

If you input a wrong path when asked to input the restore directory when restoring via the --restore-vms argument, you will be prompted to overwrite the root dir, if you confirm you whish to overwrite, your system will be partially deleted.

Solution:
You will need to reboot the server and restore the closest configuration backup in time.

Fix:
A fix has already been released. Please update to latest version before restoring an (c)XSITools backup to prevent this situation. This bug was affecting only versions 11.1.6 and 11.1.7
