Cannot import app backup from other cloudron

@guyds I will try to add this to the next version.

You have to copy the latest backup this should contain the full set. The backup config json file you can download via the dashboard will contain some information to find it on disk by the backup ID.

That would be great, thanks!

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I'll try it that way.

Much to my disappointment I just noticed that this issue still exists.
In other words, I still cannot import a backup from an sshfs location because it's still giving the error

Error : External Error - Error loading fsmetadata.json:ENOENT: no such file or directory

The only way to get the app imported on a new cloudron is by manually copying over the backup to the local filesystem.

@guyds yes, unfortunately, the fix did not make it to 7.4.

I think https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/8672/move-local-backup-to-another-server was the same issue.

Any timeframe for when the fix will be available?

Hmmm, I'm don't see any issues mentioned in that post, it just seems to be a request for best practices regarding backups

@guyds Whoops, you are right. I meant https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/8707/backup-restore-is-not-working and specifically https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/8707/backup-restore-is-not-working/5. There is a bug in the import functionality that it doesn't mount SSHFS/CIFS/NFS correctly before import.

@girish that sounds as being the same issue indeed.
So if I understand correctly you already know what the issue is and how to fix it and now it's just a matter of finding some time to actually implement it

Fixed in 7.5.1

@girish Thanks!
