My local Discourse and the live instance I’ve backed up are running the same version (1.9.0.beta17).

I upload a backup from the live installation to my local Discourse (which is a Vagrant development version), but the upload doesn’t appear in the list of backups, meaning I can’t restore the backup.

I was advised elsewhere on the forum that I should put a local installation in place, restore the live backup, add users using the Ning import script, then backup the changed local version and restore it to the live server.

If I can’t see the backup file (Discourse tells me the file was uploaded successfully) then it seems I’m stuck.

Anyone might have some idea where I could be going wrong? Thanks!
