La restauración de copia de seguridad falla debido a la extensión de archivo .tar versus .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!

Estoy teniendo el mismo problema y lo intenté. El archivo se carga bien, pero la restauración no encuentra el volcado de la base de datos:

[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

¿Alguna sugerencia? Gracias.

Hola Martim:

Veo tu nuevo tema Locked out of my forum after restore, ¿significa eso que pudiste superar este problema específico con éxito?

¡Sí! Perdona, pensé que había borrado mi comentario ya que lo recuperé poco después.
