.ReaR fails to recreate a volume group when you do not use clean disks for restoring
ReaR fails to perform recovery when you want to restore to disks that contain existing data.
To work around this problem, wipe the disks manually before restoring to them if they have been previously used. To wipe the disks in the rescue environment, use one of the following commands before running the `rear recover` command:
* The `dd` command to overwrite the disks.
* The `wipefs` command with the `-a` flag to erase all available metadata.
See the following example of wiping metadata from the `/dev/sda` disk:
-----
# wipefs -a /dev/sda[1-9] /dev/sda
-----
This command wipes the metadata from the partitions on `/dev/sda` first, and then the partition table itself.
