Uploaded backup file doesn't show

Hi,

I've uploaded a backup file from another server to /home/backup so I can restore the data to a new server.

Unfortunately, the file does not appear in the backup list, either via CLI (v-list-user-backups admin) or via the web control panel.

How do I get VestaCP to see my new backup file?

Thanks,

Adam

If you want to see the backup in the list, you need to edit some config files.

You can restore the user via:

Code: Select all

v-restore user username backupfile

v-restore USER BACKUP [WEB] [DNS] [MAIL] [DB] [CRON] [UDIR] [NOTIFY]

What are the config files I need to edit?

/usr/local/vesta/data/users/YOURUSER/backup.conf

Inside:

Code: Select all

BACKUP='YOURUSER.2015-07-23.tar' TYPE='local' SIZE='1' WEB='YOURDOMAIN.ru' DNS='YOURDOMAIN.ru' MAIL='YOURDOMAIN.ru' DB='YOURBASE_default' CRON='' UDIR='tmp' RUNTIME='1' TIME='02:00:02' DATE='2015-07-23'

Ok, so judging from the backup.conf file, backups can only be restored via the control panel IF they've been created on that server. To restore a backup from another server requires a CLI command instead.

Am I right?

Half-right, you can add info about your backup to file and press restore button. But of course much simpler use CLI command.
