Zenrestore command restores everything that is available in backup file. It ignores the options provided with the zenrestore command.
We tried restoring backup using --no-zodb and --no-perfdata options using zenrestore command but observed that when the backup file contains the ZODB and performance data it is getting restored.
We verified this behavior in the code ZenRestore.py file.
Is there something we are missing while providing the options or it is known issue.
Command executed and logs are given below :
zenrestore -v1 --no-zodb --no-perfdata --deletePreviousPerfData --file zenbackup_63_20140226.tgz
