Hi there, I’m trying to backup our staging site with data from our production site. The log after the numerous CREATE INDEX is as follows: Enabling readonly mode...

Hi Ivan, You can drop the backup schema by running ./launcher enter app psql -U postgres -c "DROP SCHEMA IF EXISTS backup CASCADE;" Be sure to take another backup before you do so :slight_smile:

Is your “staging” server Discourse software the same or newer version than that of the “production” server Discourse software ? check /admin page of each Discourse instance, what is the Version on both servers ?

Hi @kuyashi, the same error occurs for both our dev and staging sites. Staging and Production are both at : v1.6.0.beta9 Development: v1.6.0.beta11 +39 Both error logs appear to be the same.

Additionally, attempting to do a restore on our staging site with a staging backup file also produces the same error log.

This is on a restore, so the backup schema should have been dropped when the restore started, I think! And I thought the schema switch was BEGIN; DROP SCHEMA IF EXISTS backup; ALTER SCHEMA public RENAME TO backup; ALTER SCHEMA restore RENAME TO public; COMMIT; Has it changed?

Brief look but we’re only dropping the restore schema first and then moving all the tables between schemas. @ivanrlio is there a failed restore before you encountered this error? One way to fix right now is just to drop the backup schema and try restoring again. :warning: Dropping the backup schema means the previous state your site is in before your last restored will be lost.

Hi @riking and @tgxworld for getting back to me on this. We haven’t done a restore in months and would only ever do it to update the database for threads and users etc. I’m unable to recall if we had a failed restore then. I will try dropping the backup schema then restoring with the most recent production backup file. Thanks!

When I run ./launcher enter app psql -U postgres -c "DROP SCHEMA IF EXISTS backup CASCADE;" I got psql: FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user "postgres" What should I do next?

Try running su - postgres before the psql command.
