failed to decompress stream: invalid input: magic number mismatch

This error arises when snaper fails to decompress data properly. This issue often occurs when trying to restore data on another system with an incorrect encryption key.

To resolve this, update the encryption key stored in ~/.config/snaper/.encryption_key and attempt to restore the data again.

If your problem persists, set log_level parameter in ~/.config/snaper/config.yaml to debug and reach out to us attaching your logs!
