Backup-Wiederherstellung schlägt fehl aufgrund der Dateierweiterung .tar gegenüber .tar.gz

Hi can you please let me know what might be the issue, restoring the backup.
Backup was created on 2019-09-03

Any tips would be highly appreciated :heart:

First there was an issue the archive being a .tar file, but i recompressed to .tar.gz

Why did you need to make changes to the backup file created by Discourse? Did you create manually create the tar file (on MacOS)? I’ve seen reports where it uses a different tar format which causes problems during decompression.

You might need to create a new tar file with the --format ustar option or, even better, create a new backup directly in a Discourse Docker container.

i downloaded the backup from my previous hosted discourse months back… when I located it, it was having the .tar extension (i have no clue why - I saw my emails had .tar.gz)

I will try your suggestion!
Thanks a lot @gerhard!

Ich habe das gleiche Problem und habe dies versucht. Die Datei wird zwar hochgeladen, aber bei der Wiederherstellung wird der DB-Dump nicht gefunden:

[2025-01-23 18:39:45] EXCEPTION: No such file or directory @ rb_check_realpath_internal - /var/www/discourse/tmp/restores/default/2025-01-23-183945/dump.sql.gz

Irgendwelche Vorschläge? Danke.

Hallo Martim,

Ich sehe dein neues Thema Locked out of my forum after restore. Bedeutet das, dass du dieses spezielle Problem erfolgreich lösen konntest?

Das tut es! Entschuldigung, ich dachte, ich hätte meinen Kommentar gelöscht, da ich ihn kurz darauf wiederherstellen konnte.
