Log
ERROR: failed to restore configuration: b'tar: ./localtime: Cannot change mode to rwxrwxrwx: Bad address\ntar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors\n'

/etc/localtime is supposed to be a symlink, and it should be one in our Docker images. Not sure how Docker backups work, but they should handle symlinks correctly. Maybe you find a way to check that file in your backups, or check whether there is another localtime anywhere, and check that file on the fresh image again.
