+      As part of restore, the task tried to move existing content from #{path}.
+      However, it seems that directory contains files/folders that are not owned
+      by the user #{Gitlab.config.gitlab.user}. To proceed, please move the files
+      or folders inside #{path} to a secure location so that #{path} is empty and
+      run restore task again.
