> I am trying to restore data from a backup using scylla-manager and `sctool restore` command  
> • I restored the schema first and then restarted my db nodes as suggested in the doc.  
> • Next when I run restore with `--restore-tables` , I get the id of the process  
> • When I check the progress i see this error
> 
> ```auto
> Status: ERROR (restoring backed-up data)
> Cause: not restored bundles [4654]: restore batch: call load and stream: giving up after 10 attempts: agent [HTTP 500] Failed to load new sstables: std::runtime_error (send_meta_data: got error code=-1 from node=<IP of scylla-node>)

> Can someone please suggest me where I am going wrong?

> **Query2:**  
> How to provide authentication in `sctool restore`? Currently I am testing with `AllowAllAuthenticator` but please suggest how to do it with password set?

> 2. You specify it in `sctool cluster`
