You are running the backup client using the incorrect file as an input. For example:
/usr/bin/java -Dstash.home="/data/atlassian/application-data/stash" -jar stash-restore-client.jar "/var/atlassian/application-data/stash/export/backup-admin-20150707-045047-883Z.zip"Notice that backup-admin-20150707-045047-883Z.zip is not a valid backup file.
Resolution
You should really be attempting to restore the file that is generated inside the backup.home as described on the table in Using the Bitbucket Server Backup Client - Backing up Bitbucket Server using the client.
If that parameter wasn't specified during the backup time, then the right file to be restored namely stash-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-ID.tar should be inside the <backup-tool>/backups directory.
If you attempted to restore the correct stash-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-ID.tar file, please try to generate a new backup and attempt a new restore.
