> [@Vu\_Hoang](#): > > cannot load such file – thor Can you confirm you saw this exact text? What command did you run? Also … I think the command is `discourse` not `script/discourse` ---

I can confirm that from inside a production container you want to run `discourse restore`, not script/discourse. Also, you can run it without the filename and it’ll suggest the available files, which makes it easy to copy and paste the filename. ---

> [@sam](#): > > Can you confirm you saw this exact text? What command did you run? Unfortunately, all sessions closed, and backup restored from UI, can’t tell for sure now. The only thing I remember is there was a ‘cannot load such file’ string. I was definitely trying `script/discourse`, so that might be the issue. ---

I just ran the restore successfully on my sandbox using these commands: ```plaintext cd /var/discourse ./launcher enter app discourse enable_restore discourse restore discourse-2018-01-08-044921-v20171228122834.tar.gz ``` ---
