[image] Hi, I’m moving my forum in a new server. Trying to restore an s3 backup I dont’t have restore button…. Is it due to different discourse version?

Is the allow restore setting enabled? [image] Create, download, and restore a backup of your Discourse database Restore a backup Before you are able to restore your backup file, you need to enable the allow restore site setting.

Yes “allow restore” is switched to on.
