      Hello,

      I was looking to move my Cloudron server to another provider so I followed the instructions here: https://docs.cloudron.io/backups/#move-cloudron-to-another-server

      However, when I attempt to restore via the /restore.html page, when I enter all of my credentials I get remotePath must be a string as an error. I believe I've entered the Remote Path properly, so I'm not sure what could be causing the error - any ideas? Thanks!

        My mistake, I didn't realize version 7.2.0 was installed by default on my new VPS. I was on 7.1.4 on my original installation. Installing 7.1.4 and restoring to that worked. I'll leave my question up for posterity but my issue is resolved.

            @MOrochena Ah yes, restores across different versions is not supported. Ideally, the error message could have been better though, I will fix that (i.e it should have said the version does not match instead of saying 'remotePath' must be a string!
