I do a daily backup and daily copy-off-server for my forum. Which is good because the VM died hard. No ssh, and no better after a forced reboot. So new VM spun up and new Discourse install. And restore from backup successful. End of restore log: [2022-04-15 06:41:18] Reconnecting to the database..…

[image] Can't upload backup support That will be the ‘disable emails’ setting: [disable emails]

After the restore, the mail is temporarily disabled while discourse catches up to prevent duplicate notifications being sent to users. You can re-enable emails by going to settings after an hour of restore and it is generally fine.

The first thing I did after seeing that was search for an email setting. It didn’t come up. Is it surpressed while the background rake jobs run or something? (Only a single email setting showed up for a search of “email” then, now I get thirty or so.)

Restored from backup, but email disabled?
