Restore from backup - Permission Denied

Install / Update

I encountered this error after entering mySQL password. How to resolve this?

sh: 1: cannot open /home/frappe/back.sql: Permission denied
Database not installed, this can due to lack of permission, or that the database name exists.
Check your mysql root password, or use --force to reinstall

I used this code to restore.

bench --site [sitename] --force restore /path/to/SQLFILE

I think it worked. But I encountered this.

frappe@erptest-VirtualBox:~/frappe-bench$ bench --site site1.local --force restore /home/frappe/back.sql
MySQL root password:
*** Scheduler is disabled ***
frappe@erptest-VirtualBox:~/frappe-bench$

Seems backup has been restored.

to enable scheduler bench enable-scheduler site1.local
