Hi Experts,

Facing below error while restoring from backup using pbm. I am executing this restore command by setting config cluster connection string in PBM\_MONGODB\_URI

[mongoadmin@test1gg ~]$ pbm restore 2024-03-28T10:54:38Z  
Starting restore 2024-03-28T11:16:30.75472608Z from ‘2024-03-28T10:54:38Z’..Error: waiting for start: cluster failed: waiting for start: cluster failed: failed to ensure snapshot file 2024-03-28T10:54:38Z/shardr2/metadata.json: no such file

- Restore on replicaset “shardr2” in state: error: failed to ensure snapshot file 2024-03-28T10:54:38Z/shardr2/metadata.json: no such file

Below are the detail of my cluster
