saitoh183 137 Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 I just installed a new MBS server on my test machine and installed Server Configuration backup to restore my settings. My main MBS is beta and i copied the manual backup i took to a location on my server that is shared to my test machine and pointed the plugin to it. I can see the backup in the plugin config windows but when i select the portion i want to restore and click the button, nothing happens. I opened the log window and i see no activity when i click on the button.

saitoh183 137 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Posted November 1, 2014 We'll need to see server logs. See my signature link on how to report a problem. I would, but as i said, there is nothing in it to post. You click on the restore and nothing happens at all. Could the problem be because im trying to restore to another MBS by copying the backup taken from my main MBS to another restore folder where my test MB is pointing to. When you hit restore there is a warning popup before proceeding.That doesnt happen when i use the backup i copied. And the backup and restore logs that are in the actual backup directory. I might just copy the folders back manually then
ebr 16169 Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 If you are doing this with Chrome, hit ctl-shift-j and then try your restore that does nothing. What is in the console window?

ebr 16169 Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Excellent. Thanks for testing. Be sure that everything actually worked though - did the user information restore properly as opposed to just not crashing?
saitoh183 137 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Posted November 1, 2014 (edited) Excellent. Thanks for testing. Be sure that everything actually worked though - did the user information restore properly as opposed to just not crashing? Yes im able to login with that user and all settings/plugins seem to be i place.Also a restore didnt overwrite the test path i added before restoring...this is intentional?

ebr 16169 Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Also a restore didnt overwrite the test path i added before restoring...this is intentional? Sorry, don't know what that means... what test path?
saitoh183 137 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Posted November 1, 2014 Sorry, don't know what that means... what test path? I added a media path called Test which is a Movie type. After doing the restore i thought it ould overwrite all library entries with the restore but it left the library i created.
ebr 16169 Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Oh, okay. No, the restore will be additive. It won't delete anything that is already there.
