Importing tarball backup? (RC 1)
13 September 2007 16:48
Anonymous Hello,

I succesfully imported the database from version 0.4.5 to the newest drake version 0.4.6 RC1

Then I wanted to import the tarball backup with the user data, but I don't kow how to do it?

Have I to unpack the things to private/ `?

I downloaded the normal drake package and installed it...

Regards,
Siedlerchr

Anonymous Hi Siedlerchr,

a better way is to upload the tarball into '/private/backup/' and then go to 'System -> Tarball Backup' in the admin area, select the uploaded tarball end press 'Update' - that's it!

Good luck ...

Anonymous ERRR...!

The 'Update' action will update the selected tarball archive with the contents of the current website, not viceversa!

Actually there is no 'Restore' feature because on some systems it might not be possible to overwrite the currently executed php script.

To restore a tarball backup you should extract it (eventually overwriting) in the Drake CMS root folder; you should always set the flag 'user data only' when restoring between different Drake CMS versions, otherwise you will downgrade your Drake CMS and 100% break it (if you are not using a flatfile database system your database data will still be in place, luckly)!

Once done that, you can restore the database backup (if it was attached to the tarball archive) since it will be found in place under private/backups

You might use veloce.php to do the dirty work
