Title: Restore remote system backup?
Post by: zergius on February 12, 2010, 02:20:09 pm

Does it exist some script or option to restore remote backup?
On my servers i confisured backup from FTP to remote machine, so there i have much number of files like duplicity-full.2010-02-11T19:05:42+03:00.vol1.difftar.gz. It's very good and great, BUT how i can restore my system without copy all of this files to local disk?
On the site i have find only this: http://trac.ebox-platform.com/wiki/Document/Documentation/ThePerfectEboxSetup/BackupRestore , but there is no any word about remote backup...

Sorry if i can't find symple answer myself...

Hi,

That's explained in the 1.4 doc which unfortunately has not been released yet. But it's almost ready.

Anyway, here you can read a preview of it where it's explained:

Sorry again, but something i cant understand, if i need to restore one or two files it has restored ok... But if i need to recover whole file system, i can't do it from web, am i wright? Couse when i have tried to do this i recived tis message:

Code: [Select]

A really nasty bug has occurred
Exception
root command /usr/share//ebox-ebackup/ebox-duplicity-wrapper --force -t 1265936421 --file-to-restore . ftp://user@192.168.1.100/ebox/mail --no-encryption /. failed. Error output: . not found in archive, no files restored. Command output: . Exit value: 1
And in the worst situation i will have to use recover CD and restore it manualy, wright?
