Hello Ovidiu, I am new here, but not on the planet.
I tried to move my site. Made a mistake. Now I try to restore just the files locally. My Mac can unarchive TAR, but wasnt able to do it. Now I try with XAMPP and XCloner.php to restore the files and get the following error:
"XCloner Automatic Restore! – localhost
TAR error: Unable to open in read mode 'backup_2011-12-19_gotarda.com-sql-nodrop.tar'
Warning: fseek() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/backup/XCloner.php on line 268
Files succesfully copied to /Applications/XAMPP/htdocs/backup/
Configuration updated!"
But it had not done anything.
Thank You

Hi Reinhard, have you checked if the backup size matches the one from your original host? If so, and you still have issues, extract the backup archive with 7zip manually and then restart the restore process with the "skip files restore" option checked.
Hope it helps! Ovidiu

Finder shows my backup with 520 MB, while on the server its 499.8 MB.
I found only a Windows version of 7-Zip.
Stuffit started to expand the backup, but broke up after 30MB or so. Maybe the file is broken.
If I only would be able to copy the file from my old hoster to the new one. All the solutions I found appear to be for Windows PCs.
Is it not possible to do the Clone Backup and move like the Restore with a script from XCloner?
Thank you!

The last error usually means the backup is incomplete, try and you use a ftp client to download it to your location. This restore wiki should help as well /wiki/index.php/Restore_Backup#Restore_Backup_.E2.80.93_Manually , XCloner restore process can work on any host supporting Wordpress.

Thanks, I managed to Clone the backup to the new server. When I tried to restore I got:
Directory /home/users/web/b399/ipg.gotardacom is not writeable or does not exists! Could not continue.
The file was in the root directory and it was writeable.
Anyway, I moved them to a subdirectory and the restore started, but at the end it says Database import skipped!
What should I do, try it again?
Thank you!
