Any idea what could caused it and how to fix it? I tried to restore from backup, but it didn’t work. P.S. I renamed the backup file, is it bad for restoring from backups? If so, the file name should be checked before even copying it to a temporary directory for extraction. [2018-01-06 01:19:46] …

Why did you rename it? That’s your problem. Don’t do that.

Original file name: kozovodstvo-v-ukraine-rossii-sng-forum-hozyajstva-rynok-2018-01-05-235903-v20171228122834.tar.gz New file name: bigbackup.tar.gz

This error message is pretty brutal @zogstrip , user uploaded a tar.gz file with an actual backup of discourse and we fail with EXCEPTION: Migration version is missing from the filename. after potentially a gigantic file was uploaded from client to server.

No, because that means you have to unzip it to get key info for the backup restoration. What if it is a 100gb zip file? You can’t even tell if it is a valid backup until you fully decompress it.

To be fair you can not tell it is a valid backup anyway until we restore it. The metadata clearly belongs in the tar bundle imo not codified into the file name and you can just pull a single file out of a tar bundle instead having to decompress everything. We are already double compressing database…

Even though, the way it works now is it copies the file to /tmp and decompresses the file, and only then does the file name check. Maybe make the check before decompressing?

[圖片] sam: We are already double compressing database which is odd to say the least. I think we should probably change it so our backup file is just a tar, that is more strategic about compression. The reason we removed the metadata file is because it FORCED a zip compression of the database …
