Hi Ib, I am assuming you are running an restore job from the web UI.
First, make sure that PoolV3Enabled is on since you are accessing a V3 pool from a V4 installation. This is found under Server settings general parameters. As a quick solution just to get access to the data or to do a manual restore, you can of course browse the web UI for the required files and download them through the browser. On the command line, you can use BackupPC_tarCreate for a faster approach directly on the server, especially when using large files. Do the files show up? Does this work or are you getting errors? In order to get the proper restore functions working, can you please post your Rsync Paths/Commands/Args? Can you make a successful backup using those? Essentially, comparing the backup and restore args is essential, if the backups are working. If it is not working, do you still have the V3 equivalents for these settings at hand to compare against? Also ensure that SSH keys are installed on the new server and that SSH is accepting the new host key (of the client) automatically or add it manually. To debug the action itself, you can run BackupPC_restore on the command line on the server with the -v flag to get verbose output. Post these details and we should be able to find out what is not working properly. Best regards, Johan Ehnberg On 04/24/2017 11:21 AM, Ib H.
