Hello,
I am facing an issue while setting up HestiaCP on my server and need some help. 
I am rebuilding my Hestia server and trying to pull a backup from my old server onto the new one. When I attempt to create a new admin user with the same name as my old server, I get a “user exists” error, even though the user doesn’t seem to exist within HestiaCP. My Ubuntu login name is the same, but I didn’t expect this to cause a conflict since HestiaCP users and system users should be separate.
I listed existing HestiaCP users using sudo v-list-users to confirm that the user doesn’t already exist.
I created a new user with the first letter capitalized, which allowed me to create the user, but when I tried to restore the backup; it didn’t restore properly.
I ensured that the system user and HestiaCP user should not conflict, but the error persists. I have checked Contributing to Hestia’s documentation | Hestia Control Panel react native documentation guide but still need help .
Has anyone else faced this issue where HestiaCP reports that a user exists when it doesn’t?
Is there a way to resolve this conflict without having to rename the user; ensuring that my backups restore properly?
Could there be any other underlying issues causing this conflict that I might have overlooked?
Any guidance / suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
