--- Comment #2 from Torsten Zuehlsdorff <tz@freebsd.org> ---
I am closing this bug as resolved by the reporter. The reporter discovered that
periodic's 411.pkg-backup produces a different format than `pkg backup -d`, and
the correct restore procedure is `xzcat /var/backup/pkg.sql.xz | pkg shell`.
This was a misunderstanding of the backup formats, not a bug. No documentation
patch was provided, and there has been no activity since March 2022.
