Restore Process Broken

[mbsmi]

I assume Ubuntu is the same as the Debian version. In that case try placing the backup file here.

cd /
then ls
And look for the "backup" folder. SCP your file there. (Not in the /home/backup directory as the link indicated.)

Give it a try and report back.

So I finally had time to actually try this this evening and had interesting results. The first time - worked flawlessly. I directly copied to the /backup directory. Second time, starting again with a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04, I copied the backup directly into the /home/backup directory and it produced the same error that it was unable to find the backup. I attempted to SCP into the /directory and it gave me the same error.

The only difference was how I installed it. The first time, I used the advance install command and did not have the mail or Softaculous. The second time I used the simple command on the install page:

Code: Select all

curl -O http://vestacp.com/pub/vst-install.sh | bash vst-install.sh --force

If it was a brand new install, you'll need to create the /backup folder as I believe it's not done until you run your first backup. Wasn't clear from your response if you created this. You mentioned "/directory" . But wasn't sure what that actually meant.

Has anyone found a fix to this issue?

I am trying to restore a backup from a vesta server with centOs to a ubuntu.

on the centos my backup folder is: /home/backup but in the ubuntu server, I dont see that folder being generated even after I manually generating a backup.

trying to move users to new server.

I revolved the issue on Ubuntu 18.04 using root:

• Create /backup

• Copy the backup file on /backup

• Run v-restore-user

And worked.
