Thanks for the quick reply,
Create a new forum. Backup your current forum. Restore that backup to the new forum. You can save some steps if both forums use the same S3 bucket for backups
Why do i need to do the manual site settings only backup?, if the above method already backs up all plugins settings & site settings, and pics/uploads/db/posts/topics etc.
If i follow these 3 steps, would my site export will give me a full backup of site/plugin settings as well as DB and file uploads?
- create a new forum.
- backup current forum by going to admin UI dashboard and going to backup section (not in command line,right?)
- restore this new backup i got in step 2 and insert it into new forum i made in step 1
- well i dont have any buckets for backup yet, my forum is simply hosted on a DO droplet and it is just in a directory on my server inside the
var/discourse/sharedfolder. but i dont get why my discourse docket yml file is in/www/discoursei dont understand why all discourse files are being distributed in these 2 folders which reside on a different path. ?
Please confirm.
