Hello! When restoring a backup to a new sharded mongo cluster, an error appears: **[E11000 duplicate key error collection: sponsore.interested index: _id_ dup key: { \_id: { visitorId: “ccee9f9e-9d05-4113-97b6-38bf85a85a0b”, categoryId: 123434 } }]**

There is a possibility that there are duplicates, but how can I force the PBM agent to ignore the duplicates and continue the recovery?

Hi @Anton_Kireev ,

Welcome Back !!  
Kindly let us know which PBM version are you using?  
If you are using older version prior to v2.2.0, you might have hit a bug and it has been fixed in 2.2.0 version. Kindly refer the [JIRA](https://jira.percona.com/browse/PBM-1090) ticket for the same.

Regards,  
Parag
