I have seen this explanation from engine-backup help and realise that it is something to do with Postgres DB restore activity. But not much said about it. I feel it instructs Postgress DB to restore the DB without privileges with which the object was created, but use new permissions & privileges passed along with --change-db-credentials and others passed during engine-backup --mode=restore. However not sure. -- Thanks & Regards, Anantha Raghava On Thursday 09 June 2016 05:47 PM, Alexander Wels wrote:

Hello Alexander,
You are right. The FQDN was the culprit. Once I entered the FQDN in /etc/hosts file, the problem got resolved.
Thanks for your guidance.
By the way any document that explains what is --restore-permissions in engine-backup process?
If you type engine-backup --help you will get a list and explanation of all the possible options.
Affects only the custom dump format. Will not pass to pg_restore '--no-owner -- no-privileges'. Might not work as expected with the --*db-user options.
Is what the --help says, not sure what that means though.
Hi,
I will try both options tomorrow & revert back here.

It is highly likely 1 of 2 things:
1. The entropy mentioned by Brett, however that is mostly applicable on hosted engine as VMs don't usually have good entropy. 2. The engine cannot resolve itself (which looking at your description is the likely culprit). Since you don't have DNS, you need to add the fqdn to /etc/hosts so it can resolve itself.
