Problems after rollback database attempt

Hi. I have tried to rollback database from the upgrade in admin panel but then my instance of discourse has failed.
I tried to rebuild with ./launcher rebuild app but it failed to build the bootstrap every time:

When I restarted it, I got a 502 error. I backed up the latest status with discourse backup after entering the app with ./launcher enter app.
Then tried to revert back to the last night’s backup with discourse restore $backupfile. It starts working but fails with some errors:

The interesting part of this output is
cp: cannot stat '/var/www/discourse/public/backups/default/var/discourse/shared/standalone/backups/default/pardus-forumlari-2019-02-06-023655-v20190130013015.tar.gz': No such file or directory

The directory names are listed twice.
Is there a solution to:

  1. Restore the forum with its latest up and running state, without any restore.
  2. If (1) does not work, a way to restore the latest backup without any problems.

Did you do a standard install?

I just renamed my old discourse folder (/var/discourse), created a new discourse folder and started a fresh install. After the installation I copied my latest backup into the new installation’s backup folder, then created a new user and I was able to enter the restore settings. I then restored my old backup from there and now the site is almost back to normal. Now my settings, custom data explorer queries and probably some other things I missed are lost and I do not know how to get them back.

All of those things should be in the backup of its up to date.

Reverting to backup finally worked and almost everything is back to normal. Only a not-viewable Default theme has appeared (which can only be seen with hamburget theme selector plugin). I have lost some data due to this, so leaving the topic open if something seems wrong.

Were the new and old install the same version? You can’t downgrade versions.

They were the same version. I had just run an upgrade beforehand.
