Backup isn't including all uploads folder data

The user markersocial encountered an issue with their Discourse server backup after migrating from Communiteq to a Docker install. The backup only included the ‘default’ folder in the uploads directory, excluding the ‘db1234’ folder which contained old uploads. codinghorror suggested contacting Communiteq for assistance, but zogstrip provided a solution by merging the ‘db1234’ folder with the ‘default’ one and remapping the links in the database using the command discourse remap /uploads/db1234/ /uploads/default/. markersocial confirmed that this solution worked perfectly.

So I recently migrated a server from Communiteq (formerly DiscourseHosting) to DO.

There is one issue on the new instance, the previous server had the a folder called db1234 (4 digit numerical value) in the var/discourse/shared/standalone/uploads/ folder.

The new server (docker install) uses a folder called ‘default’ in the var/discourse/shared/standalone/uploads/ folder.

The images and user uploads all load correctly, from both folders now. New uploads going to the default folder and old uploads still working from the db1234 folder.

When I do site backup via the admin panel (including files) however. It only includes the default folder and the db1234 folder is excluded. Not sure if this is fair to call it a bug, I think it would make sense to include all the contents of the uploads folder though.

You might ask Communiteq (formerly DiscourseHosting) about this.

I would merge your db1234 folder with the default one and then do a remap to fix the links in the database

cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
discourse remap /uploads/db1234/ /uploads/default/

Wow, thanks so much @zogstrip, I really appreciate it. Your solution solved this issue perfectly! :slight_smile:
