Example restoring from test server to prod server

Test server name: TESTSERVER Prod server name: PRODSERVER Backup server name: BACKUPSERVER

Restore production on test server:

Login to test server TESTSERVER

:$ sudo su redminebackup

:$ cd /home/redminebackup

:$ mv backups oldbackups

Copy files from prod:

:/home/redminebackup$ rsync -ahlu redminebackup@BACKUPSERVER:/home/redminebackup/backups/ backups/

We will restore on test server TESTSERVER so, we will rename the backups of prod server PRODSERVER to TESTSERVER to be used during restore.

:/home/redminebackup$ cd backups/ :/home/redminebackup/backups$ rm -rf TESTSERVERold :/home/redminebackup/backups$ mv TESTSERVER TESTSERVERold :/home/redminebackup/backups$ mv PRODSERVER TESTSERVER :$ exit

Restore:

:$ sudo su redmine :/home/redminebackup/backups$ redmine_back --restore --dropdb
