Using the “Backup Console”, running “backupctrl restore” fails with
backup.pl:
. . . 145: convert-to-location
. . . 148: firewallctrl
. . . 151: convert-ovpn
. . . 163: convert-dns-settings
“not found” - although existing.
Temporarily replacing the calls with full path of the files
circumvented this pothole,
leading to further errors as follow-ups.
I tried every one and I don’t remember this error.
Please send the entire line you entered and the entire response from the command.
A)
As required in cited wiki: “backupctrl restore filename” -
in my case:
. . . . . “backupctrl restore 2022-03-11-09 17.ipf”
B) explicit version:
backup.pl:
line 145: convert-to-location not found
line 148: firewallctrl not found
line 151: convert-ovpn not found
line 163: convert-dns-settings not found

“which …” locates them at /user/local/bin
Temporarily replacing the calls with full path of the files circumvented these four errors,
leading to further message output:
“Use of uninitialized value $fwoptions {“DROPHOSTFILE”} in string ne at /usr/lib/firewall/rules.pl line 693.”
This message re-appears in following boot processes on the display.
CONFIRMATION:
At least, in 5.15.23-ipfire, modified “backupctrl restore” succeeds to re-load the basic configs;
after a reboot and “/etc/init.d/dhcp restart” the external network was available.
hwfan, hwvolt, DynDNS: still missing (see my other posts).
Changing Pakfire to “Testing” repository, refresh works, and hostapd can be installed.
AND: “Talos VRT rules with subscription” is enabled,
at first sight without creating any obvious problems 
Cudos to Stefan!
I can confirm!
