Unable to restore files from backup without existing files present (No such file or directory)
Ludusavi version
v0.27.0
Operating system
Linux
Installation method
Standalone
Description
When selecting a game to restore (in this case, Warhammer: Vermintide 2), the restore operation is able to create the directories leading up to the configuration files, but fails to restore the files themselves. If I copy the files into the directory manually first and then run restore, it works fine.

Okay, small update. I tried this with V Rising and it seemed to restore everything fine without me having to manually copy files over. So I don't know what's different about Warhammer: Vermintide 2. I can test with other games later and see if any others are affected.
Just today, I tried restoring Warframe files. Even more strangely, a lot of the files already existed, but it still gave the "No such file or directory" error when trying to restore.
Hi! Thanks for the detailed report. Unfortunately, I'm not really sure what could cause this, especially since you're using the standalone version and not Flatpak (which has more restrictive permissions).
Do the folders/files for Warhammer and V Rising have any different permissions?
They both seem to have the same permissions (and owner):
Owner: rwx Group: r-x Others: r-x
Same with Warframe and New World, which have also had this issue.
