meta.json is 47 bytes. A single line

{“source”:“discourse”,“version”:20150422160235}

Edit:  
Unless there is something tricky in the backup system, I am 99.9% certain it was the right file

EditEdit:  
Not sure if it matters, but the original backup came from var/docker. The new install is located in var/discourse  
The original backup loads though, until the error in line 3.9Million
