Resolution
As a workaround:

Connect to the server via RDP
-
Remove the system user manually.
-
Create example.com subscription with the system user jhondoe in Subscriptions > Add Subscription
-
Start the restoration of the subscription from the backup.

is this already included in Obsidian Plesk
Version 18.0.28 Update # 1 ???
We see a lot of bugs in the system restore, we experienced 3 X failed to restore, there is no website, or there is no email user.
We currently postpone moving to Windows Server 2016.
But in Cpanel it's easy to restore from backup and there are no bugs.
Thanks you.
Here is an error when restoring on Windows server 2016 with Mailenable:

Hello Support
The bug in question is planned to be fixed later.
As for errors you've reported.
1. Failed deployment of mail user - for some reason Plesk utility mailmng is unable to configure mailbox properties.
2. Looks like a database inconsistency. Possibly, there were previous restore processes interrupted.
Both issues are to be investigated additionally.
Feel free to contact Plesk Support.
