I setup a new host so I can have a ‘staging’ environment. I re-created the same discourse installation with what should be the same version. I’m running version: 2.8.2. First comment, as of version 2.8.2 my back up size has dropped from 282MB to around 90MB. Not sure why but I’m going to just with some intelligence added in that I’m taking advantage of. I downloaded the latest archive from my forum, and uploaded to local storage on the new staging environment. The restore fails due to: ```sh [2022-02-27 19:41:18] ALTER TABLE [2022-02-27 19:41:18] ALTER TABLE [2022-02-27 19:41:18] Migrating the database...
