I made a big mistake tonight and accidentally nuked my forum in DO. So I cannot restore from a snapshot. I recreated a Discourse instance, but I cannot upload my backup through the web. It uploads up to about 17%, and then starts over, until it errors out with an error popup that says try again. I …

Hi, Brandon The scp command should run in your local machine, not your discourse server. Your command should like be this… brandon@your_machine_name# scp /Users/brandon/Downloads/my-forum-2023-05-17-011157-v20230510142249.tar.gz root@{{your forum ip}}:/var/discourse/shared/standalone/backups/defa…

[imagem] Brandon: I cannot upload my backup through the web Have you tried copying it onto the server using another method such as scp? Once it’s on the server, you can move it where it needs to be to be restored.

I did, but it doesn’t seem to be working… I followed the instructions at the link I included which state: [imagem] Restore a backup from the command line Transfer the backup SSH into the destination server, or otherwise create the backup folder there: mkdir -p /var/discourse/shared/standalone/…

Don’t hit enter between the source and destination, it’s all a single command.

Thanks Michael, I did try that as well. root@discourseonubuntu2204-s-1vcpu-2gb-nyc1-01:/var/discourse/shared/standalone/backups/default# scp /Users/brandon/Downloads/my-forum-2023-05-17-011157-v20230510142249.tar.gz root@192.168.1.1:/var/discourse/shared/standalone/backups/default/ root@192.168.1.1…

You need to run that on your machine where you have the backup. It’s intended to copy it to the server.

Yes, I’m running the command in Terminal on my Mac, and I’m consoled into the DO Droplet. I can confirm, the .tar.gz file lives in the “/Users/brandon/Downloads/” folder on my Mac. I’m puzzled.

I cannot thank you both enough for stepping up to the plate here. I did not realize I run that locally and not on the server. :man_facepalming:t3: I got it back up and running. I would have been up all night with nothing to show for it if it wasn’t for you two. Thank you so very much!

Você já tentou copiá-lo para o servidor usando outro método, como scp?

Uma vez que esteja no servidor, você pode movê-lo para onde precisa estar para ser restaurado.
