Error Restoring Backup

[vectorman]

I recently upgraded my server to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (64-bit)

I'm trying to restore my backup like this:

Code: Select all

sudo bash /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-restore-user admin  home/backup/admin.2017-02-13.tar

I get this error:

Code: Select all

Error: invalid backup format :: home/backup/admin.2017-02-13.tar

Using latest VestaCP (0.9.8)

Edit: I think I posted this in the wrong section. If so, feel free to move it to the CLI section.

unfortunately this happens because of different gzip compression algorithms used between different software/OS versions... to the best of my guess and as skurudo also said in other threads.

there is no simple way to fix this, you'll need to "Extract" the backup archive and restore files one by one.

If the number of domains is many, you can script the User/Domain creation using CLI and then move the site folders in appropriate place, then restoring DBs.

Can you try this command:

sudo bash /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-restore-user admin admin.2017-02-13.tar

[vectorman]

Can you try this command:

sudo bash /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-restore-user admin admin.2017-02-13.tar

That gives me:

Code: Select all

Error: backup admin.2017-02-13.tar doesn't exist

I'm also in the /home/backup folder when I do this.

[vectorman]

Strangely, doing:

Code: Select all

sudo bash /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-restore-user admin /home/backup/SomeNonExistingFileHere.tar

Also gives me:

Code: Select all

Error: invalid backup format 

Sort of like it thinks the file exists (even though it doesn't).

It appears that the command is having trouble "finding" the backup file, no matter what I do.

Interesting find... I'd like to watch how this thread goes. I've had this problem ever since I started using vesta :lol:

Try

Code: Select all

cd /home/backup

then run your comand

Code: Select all

v-restore-user-backup admin backup-file.tar.gz

If fail try run whit bash -x

[vectorman]

Try

Code: Select all

cd /home/backup

then run your comand

Code: Select all

v-restore-user-backup admin backup-file.tar.gz

If fail try run whit bash -x

I took your advice on running with the -x switch like this (from inside the backup folder):

Code: Select all

sudo bash -x  /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-restore-user admin admin.2017-02-13.tar

I get the following output:

I think you miss symlink from /home/backup > /backup

So you need move your backup file into /backup

And it should work fine

Check ls -la /home

If /home/backup is a dir move it content to /backup then make a symlink to point /home/backup to /backup

This will resolve all your problems

If not modify vesta configuration to take as default backup dir = /home/backup

I created a symbolic link like you suggested and then restored while in /backup. That did the trick! Thank you!
