Hello All,

I have taken backup of rancher cluster etcd node using rke and tried to restore the backup snapshot. I am getting error while restoring backup.

steps which i followed:-

1. taken backup using rke and cluster.yml by executing following command: ```  
rke etcd snapshot-save --config cluster.yml --name snapshot-name

````auto
2. restore the above taken backup using rke and same cluster.yml file by executing the following command: ```
rke etcd snapshot-restore --config cluster.yml --name mysnapshot

````

rke version: v0.3.2  
kubernates version: v1.15.11-rancher1-0

Please find the attached screenshot for reference. kindly correct me if iam doing anything wrong.
