Bug ID: 10188
Summary: affa restore fails
Classification: Contribs
Product: SME Contribs
Version: 9.2
Hardware: ---
OS: ---
Status: CONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: smeserver-affa
Assignee: [email protected]

QA Contact: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
I attempted a backup of a v8 box with a restore to a new v9 server.
I followed the wiki thus:
Created a config.
Include=opt
sshPort=2222
affa --configcheck
affa --send-key backup-smeserver
affa --run backup-smeserver
affa –-list-archives (archive shown)
All good and an insprection of the files shows they all look good.
Take USB backup for good measure
Stop all services before last backup:
SVC='qpsmtpd sqpsmtpd crond pop3 dovecot pop3s ftp httpd-e-smith smb qmail'
for s in $SVC; do service $s stop; done
affa --run backup-smeserver
Destroy old server :-(
Install new v9 server
Add some contribs back
Enable remote access and send key again to enable access
affa --full-restore backup-smeserver
Server reboots and that's when we notice things have gone wrong
All data files and mail plus /opt are correctly restored. But.
Seems that some of the config files eg /etc/passwd are not restored. Neither
are the config DBs or MySQL Dbs
Here is the first error. I will post the logs as attachments

I believe this is due to one file being copied and another not.
Ultimately I resolved this after several hours and a lot of sweat and grey
hairs. I manually copied over the backed up files in /etc plus the config DBs
and SQL DBs and then manually restored them (proof that the file backups were
good)
I believe there is an issue somewhere in the restore procedure. I can't afford
to repeat with this box - it is old, slow, with 250Gb data which takes forever
to backup and restore, and the box is needed for 9am tomorrow.
I may try to restore to a VM if I have enough disk space.
