## Symptoms

- The Gaia restore of Multi-Domain Server is failing following the change described in [sk163300](https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk163300).

## Cause

As described in [sk163300](https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk163300), the output file of the mds_backup was renamed from mdsbk.tgz to mdsbk.tar for compressing the files only once.

Due to this change, the restore that performed via Gaia restore (and not via mds_restore.sh) is failing as still trying to use the mdsbk.tgz

## Solution

This problem was fixed. The fix is included in:

* [Check Point R80.40](https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk160736)
* [Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator for R80.30](https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk153152) since Take 107
* [Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator for R80.20](https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk137592) since Take 127
* [Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator for R80.10](https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk116380) since Take 249

<br />

As a workaround, open *$MDSDIR/conf/mds.cpbak* and change the below line:

***yes \| ./mds_restore \*.mdsbk.tgz***

to be

***yes \| ./mds_restore \*.mdsbk.tar***
