Hi,
would anyone know how to restore a backup via upload (`admin/backups`)?
When I am uploading a 10 MB backup file I get a 414 error (Nginx) - request entity too large.
The site is in default config, fresh setup.
Best,
Marius

Do you have a reverse proxy fronting Discourse traffic?

Ah problem solved. Nginx’s default is 1 MB for this.
For the record: added the following line to my http config at the proxy:
```plaintext
client_max_body_size 100M ;
```
