backup-xx-xx.zip.lock file is not useful

backup-xx-xx.zip.lock file is not useful

I have a file which is

backup-2022_06_04.zip.locked

on linux Confluence server, which is on folder:

/var/atlassian/application-data/confluence/backups

I have renamed that file into backup-2022_06_04.zip, but I can't use it.

I have also checked that I can not actually unzip it.

Is there any way to restore data from such file?
(I can not export space actually).

The lock file is not the backup, it's a flag created during the backup process to tell you that the backup is not finished. There's no backup data in it.
