Hi Gene,
The "missing journal file" warning won't stop the restore. I'd recommend
filing a support case and working things through that channel.

Was this done from a MarkLogic database backup (that is what my

you restoring into the exact same topology as you backed up from (that
is what restore expects)?

Thank you Danny,
That is what I am trying to do.
Here is the text of an email I sent internally about it.
We have an NAS mount connected to both clusters. On the ML 4.2 side
it is read/write.
On the ML 7.x side it is mounted read only.
I have not been able to complete a restore from that location either
by database restore or forest restore.
The access to the /Marklogic_temp/ mount may need to be read write.
When the actual restore process gets to 00:00:00 estimated time left,
it just sits there with the forest state saying "recovering"
I see this message in the logs at that point:
Mar 28 16:01:02 MarkLogic: Missing journal file
/mldata02/RestoredForests/dodge-daily-forest01/Journals/Journal1-19700101000000-0-0-0
I have waited 30 minutes past the time it said it had finished copying
data and still no completion of the restore.
Any help would be appreciated as we are supposed to perform the actual
process from ML 4.2 QA to ML 7.x QA over the weekend.

I can't say that I have done this, but I would expect it to work. I
would expect that, as soon as it mounted the db in 7, that it would
start reindexing (if reindexing is enabled).
I would test it first, but I think it will work.

Has anyone successfully backed up a database on ML 4.2-7 and restored
it in a new environment with a fresh ML 7.0-2.1 install?
