``` Backup-ADFS : Failed to connect to the database associated with ADFS ```
You do not have permissions to the ADFS database, if you are using a SQL database make sure your account has access to the database, if WID, make sure you are running as administrator.
``` Restore-ADFS : Failed to Decrypt the file```
You have additional files in the backup directory that were not created (and encrypted by the tool). The files themselves will be copied to a temporary working folder
``` C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\ADFSRapidRecreationTool\tempFolder``` which will prevent you from using Restore-ADFS if even if you try again with a folder without the problematic files. Delete this directory and remove all files except the following from your backup folder.
config.xml
db.xml
installParams.xml
metadata.xml

Restore-ADFS : Wrong password given to decrypt the backup
The password you have provided for ADFS backup decryption is incorrect, check the password and try again.

flag, it does create a verbose log in the appdata folder C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\ADFSRapidRecreationTool\ADFSRestore_Logs
