Restoring Backup after drive crash is not possible #1880

Open anjasumma opened 4 months ago

newest NCP version 1.53.1

I had a running NextcloudPi instance and took a backup (including data and compressed) and exported NCP configuration to another drive. I run NextcloudPi on a Raspi4 from an SD card and had data directory and database moved to an external SSD drive.

My drive crashed (turns out it's a fake drive and unusable in the long run) and now I would like to use the backups to get my Nextcloud(pi) back up and running with a new, working drive. However, it doesn't work. Both routines (ncp-import and nc-restore) seem to expect a running database to do their work. But due to the crash I don't have a running database anymore. What I can do is format the new drive to use the same name as the crashed one and I can also create the folders ncdata etc.

Is this a bug in the scripts? Both scripts fail with error messages. Or am I doing something fundamentally wrong in restoring the updates? But isn't preparing for hardware failure one of the primary reasons to backup data?
