how to read backup?

[Phy Sik]

Hello, 

we're running QAT+ with an postgres database under Linux.

I just made a backup following the documentation (https://docs.qatrackplus.com/en/stable/install/backup.html).

It succeeded, now I have a couple of files including a  ~190MB tarball. 

How do I use/read in this backup?

Do I really have to put all the saved data manually in the respective folders?

There has to be a command for that... 

Thanks a lot guys!

Hi,

the mentioned backup script has no corresponding "load" function, you have to recreate the db and copy the files by hand, it seems.

My backups contain one .css file, the tarball with the uploads and the database dump, that is not much to do by hand.

with kind regards

Thanks for responding Thomas.  Sorry I didn't respond sooner but I didn't get email alerts  about either of your original posts for some reason. 

The backup contains a postgres backup file which you can use pg_restore to restore to a new database.   The uploads.tar.gz file can be uncompressed/unarchived and then you can copy the contents of that directory to qatrack/media/uploads/ (e.g. cp -r /path/to/backed/up/media/uploads/* /path/to/qatrackplus/qarack/media/uploads/ ) directory to restore any uploaded files. 

If you are not using file upload tests you can ignore the uploads directory and just restore the postgres file.

Thanks a lot guys. I was on a business trip the last two weeks, therefore my late response. I will try that! Thank you!
