Restore crashes on "Cannot open: File exists" error

Hi there,

I’m currently struggling to restore backups on a server that completely crashed and had to be freshly reinstalled.

The restore of some Virtual Servers (not all) crashes at this point:

Restoring virtual server password, quota and other details ..
.. done
Updating administration password and quotas ..
.. done
Restoring Cron jobs ..
.. done
Extracting TAR file of home directory ..
.. TAR failed!

/bin/tar: ./site/current: Cannot open: File exists /bin/tar:
Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

It looks very similar to this: Restore Failed due to File exists

But I still haven’t found any workaround. Any thoughts will be much appreciated.
