Hm maybe? But how (migrate from VM to YuNO-more VM?!)

[someonesusername]

But still @Aleks would you mind updating the download page? I mean I had to take the VPS route even tough it is not… Don’t get me wrong there cause I’ve got there in the end but it’s kind a like wtf do I go?! as in some games you’re sometimes think where the f do I go

Just for info, you can edit the doc yourself to improve it

Congratulation for the installation, this is the most chaotic one I’ve ever seen.

[someonesusername]

Just as life is chaos

[someonesusername]

is it normal to give no indication what so ever?

[someonesusername]

uh oh:

but:

now what?

[Aleks]

Is your .tar file located in /home/yunohost.backup/archives …

Edit: nevermind, I think the issue is that you should not specify the .tar in the command line :

yunohost backup restore 20210305-180303

[someonesusername]

I’ve just re-checked the documentation. Now I feel stupid…

[someonesusername]

oh no

[someonesusername]

Any help please? What can I do to fix this? (I still do have access to the old installation on the VM as well so create a new backup in over 10 hours again?)

[Aleks]

Zblerg idk it sounds like the archive you uploaded got corrupt or is incomplete maybe … maybe you can confirm this by comparing the byte size of the original archive vs. the one on the server

[someonesusername]

Mac OS also says unexpected end

[someonesusername]

I’ve booted the old server, the file size is the same.

[someonesusername]

Creating a new backup now

[someonesusername]

Finally

[Aleks]

Are you saying your backup weights 436GB …

[someonesusername]

are you calling me fat?

[someonesusername]

Thats what 100.000 products do with a db

[someonesusername]

Here we go again the other way around. @Aleks You seemed amazed by it’s size? Why if I may ask?

[Mamie]

Just if it can help you feel slim, my borg backup repo weight 270Go (it mostly contains the NextCloud files)

[someonesusername]

why not samba and vpn it? I mean if you only use it for file access on the go?!
