Thanks Jay  
I have been able to restore a backup linode to another linode (linode2)  
Now I need to open Discourse on linode2 so that I can get Discourse to email me a backup.  
I made a new DNS setting for linode2 but I get 502 Bad Gateway when I go there.  
Perhaps I have to wait a while?  
Strangely [discbak.softwarebydesign.com.au](https://diskbak.softwarebydesign.com.au) (linode2) is currently re-routing to discourse.softwarebydesign.com.au (on the original linode)
