Yup…I can confirm that following the instruction has restored the backup. Just let me share my experiences below:
- First, configure the machine to restore the backup which should be similar to the original server.
- Restore the services/modules installed on the original server.
- Configure the Backup (data) location similar to the original server.
- While on the Backup (Configuration), click on the Restore tab. It might not show the last backup but clicking on the Restore Backup button will give you an idea it is restoring something because of the status bar.
- After restoration, I’ve checked the users as well as the emails…however, I was greeted with blank mailboxes, even the settings have been reset. The users are there with the proper password, however, mails and config is missing.
- I re-read the instructions and at this time, I issued the “restore-data” command in my home folder.
- After sometime, I tried to log in to email and verified that the mails and config has been restored. However, server response seemed slow (I think this has something to do with amavisd…as is not shitting down, the system terminated the process for successfully restarted) and I restarted NethServer and everything went back to normal.
