Cloudron Restore - Incorrect Header Check

[stratus41298]

Hey folks,

I'm in the process of migrating to a new setup. My old setup is on 7.5.2 due to the AVX/Mongo business so on the new setup I installed Ubuntu 22.04, Cloudron 7.5.2, and I uploaded the backup config to the new install. Upon dry run restore I had to do a chown for yellowtent and it seemed like after that I was off to the races until the restore stopped with an error stating "Incorrect Header Check". That's it. I tried again and got the same results.

I'm not sure what else to do here as there's not much to go on. I just took this backup last night and I don't think anything has changed, but I don't think that would matter anyways on a dry run, right?

In this case it ended up being due to an incorrect passkey https://forum.cloudron.io/post/83440

@jdaviescoates Hmm. The password should be correct as i'm pulling it from the manager, but I will look into this. Thanks for the lead!

Think this error comes from zlib. Which in turn happens when we try to extract an invalid tar.gz , which is most likely because the decryption failed.

Yeah, I think that was the problem. I have no idea what password was used because I tried quite a few of them! I ended up just biting the bullet and taking another backup with the proper password. It seems like it's working. Thanks for your help.
