Hi Ovidu!

How are you? Need this to work but I seem to have screwed up somehow...:)Cry

I am restoring manually & the script runs OK. The file restore happens first and runs perfectly. Then I get this error:-

"Unable to read the database backup file /mnt/glusterfs/apache/hosting-dir/.....blah blah  ...co.uk//administrator/backups/database-sql.sql , database was not imported!"

I don't understand this error, because the path to the file that the script is looking for does not exist. In my xcloner folder I have a folder called "administrator/backups" but it only has the tar file, not a file called "database-sql.sql" I don't see that file anywhere..

This is my filename, "backup_2011-11-12_12-43_11plusglos.co.uk-sql-nodrop.tar" which looks like it has the SQL in it

I am not entering FTP details in the script. I fill in the details of the new database I created for the script to use. And 'import database.  is green' as is 'incremental sql import'.

Many thanks for your help!

Bill

Hi Bill, try and open the backup archive and see if the mysql backup file administrator/backups/database-sql.sql is present, if not, you might need access to another backup or the original mysql database.
