Hi,
i'm on a SME server 7 RC1 and I have made a backup 911 with backup2ws.
So I've got all the rar on my computer.
My server has been format and I would like to use my backup 911 but I don't know How can I restore the files.
Somebody can help me ?
thank you

I never tried but it's explain in the 911 page of the contrib:
The steps required to perform a 911 Disaster Recovery restore are as follows:
1) Perform a fresh install of SME Server and configure to operational status.
2) Perform a fresh install of any contrib rpms and required dependancies that you had previously installed.
3) Perform a fresh install of this contrib.
4) Recreate the 911 Disaster Recovery backup job.
5) Perform a complete 911 Disaster Recovery restore.
6) After completion you will need to enter the 'Reboot or shutdown' panel and 'Reconfigure' your server.
7) Finally you should enter the 'Software installer' panel and 'Install available updates'
hope this will help you.

Bonjour,
I made what you said but I'm not sure that my recovry job work.
Because I have got 14,5Go to restore I think it will take a while.
But I don't know when it finish.
Moreover the saved files are on a computer on the network I don't know if it's made a problem ?
This is my Log of my recovry job :

well, being on a computer over the network shouldn't bother since it's accessible with smb.
have you reconfigure exactly the same 911 backup with the same method and the same destination?
Are the archive ok? you can verifi under windows (or even linux) with a rar archive manager.
I'm working in adding some feature on that contrib and, in order to have some informations while backuping, I connect as root to the server by ssh and I lunch:
tail -f /var/log/messages
with this, I can see in real time what is running.
I think you can verifi if the share has been mounted corectly and if the restor operation is performing.

Thank you for you indications it's help me a lot.
SO the archive are ok I have check them.
Thank's to tail -f /var/log/messages
i know what is the problem more precisely :
sme7 e-smith-bg: Error occured mounting /192.168.0.108/test at /etc/e-smith/events/actions/backup2-restore line 91.
I have tried to give an other destination but it's the same error so I don't understand what is the probleme exactly yet.
-
looks like an syntax error, you wrote /192.168.0.108/test, it should be //192.168.0.108/test
-
thank you very much.
that was my mistake so silly....
I have just one question yet, is it possible to backup in a shared file on the network which is protected by a password ? because I can't see any field to fill with the login and password.
thank you
:-D

well, I don't know wich version of the contrib you use but with mine (smeserver-backup2-0.0.1-b1dmay.noarch.rpm), I have two fields for the username and the password to acced the share, it looks like this:
if backing up to a Windows workstation, enter a valid Windows username/password that is a local account on the destination workstation with full access rights to the share. Leave the username and password blank if backing up to an attached USB storage device.
Username:
Password:
