cbrestore complains about credentials on Couchbase Server

[Frederic Yesid Peña Sánchez]

Hi

We faced an awful issue migrating Couchbase Server between providers (2.1.1 ==> 3.0.1)

We made backup on source machine with cbbackup, and then transferred it to destination via rsync

But when we try to restore with cbrestore, we have the following outcome, several times over ours without success:

error: missing bucket-destination: my-database at destination: http://persefone.xxx.xx:8091; perhaps your username/password is missing or incorrect

my-database and server changed for privacy reasons

The password is correct and checked via web interface

As the python cli scripts are some kind of cryptic for me (i must confess i'm not much python aware nor savvy) i cant see what we have wrong.

We had to roll back our old server from backups and do a XDCR replication (some hundred $ spent on that as we finished contract with our previous provider).

What scares us is the event of a new failure, how to be confident on backup restoration???

cbrestore command is missing parameter "-u Administrator" it does not belong in the connect string as you have provided it.

Backups are worthless if you have not tested restore process.
