Restore User Data

Support

Hi Experts.
Did as advised (off course no option left :slight_smile:). Unfortunately, only configuration data restored. But the data is not restored even after 48 hours waiting.

I have the data (378 Users and 108GB compressed files) in CIFS share (Windows Share).

Is there any other way to restore the data?

Hi

After the configuration restore, you need to point the new server to your backup and restore dataā€¦

Or am I missing a step? August 7 was a long time agoā€¦ :slight_smile:

By my book, the status (now) corresponds to the following:

  • You installed a ā€œnewā€ server.
  • Turned off the old server
  • Restored configuration backup to the new serverā€¦

My 2 cents

@Andy_Wismer.
Yes you are right, unfortunately I am unable to point to CIFS share in new cockpit manager.
I couldnā€™t see any way to tell the server the backup is available in CIFS.
Configuration data restored successfully wit all the user idā€™s with passwords restored.
Am only stuck up at restoring the data of the users.
Hope am clear in giving the exact scenario
Help me out.

Bump!

Experts,
Please respond

After restoring the configuration backup, you should already have the backup configured and ready to be restored.

So the steps are:

  1. restore configuration backup
  2. restore the data backup (all config to access it, itā€™s already in place)

Thanks for the reply.
The main question is not answered.
Am unable to find the data backup in cockpit, as mentioned by you in point 2
I restored the configuration backup successfully.

Also am looking up restore through CLI.
Any docs are highly appreciable.
Thanks

GUI:

https://docs.nethserver.org/en/v7/backup.html#selective-restore-of-files

CLI:

https://docs.nethserver.org/en/v7/backup_customization.html#restore-from-command-line

You can find the ā€œRestore dataā€ in applications. If itā€™s not there you may need to install it from Software Center.

@mrmarkuz,
Thanks for your support.
The application restore is installed but that application is showing the backup which I have in CIFS to restore.
As an alternative, am thinking of restore, through CLI, as most of the mail boxes are restored through configuration backup.
Hope am clear
Thanks again

Sorry, I donā€™t get it.

Itā€™s also possible to open the duplicity-full.* files with 7zip and then winscp the mail dirs/files to /var/lib/nethserver/vmail/....

Sorry mrmakuz,
My mistake!
Please read as ā€œnot showing the backupā€.

Will do it in cli and let you know.
