ROS : 2.5.1 - Manual back up does not back up all data folders #329

Closed ianbradbury-bizzibody closed 6 years ago

ianbradbury-bizzibody commented 6 years ago

I am able to run the manual backup command with no errors.

ros backup -f ros/data/ -t ros_backup/data

If I look in the ros/data folder I see the following folders : keys, realms, sync.

If I look in the backup folder after running the backup I only see the folders : keys and sync.

There is no realms folder being backed up.

Goals

Manual back up of a live ROS server

Expected Results

A back up folder that contains the keys, sync and realms folders.

Actual Results

A back up folder that only contains the keys, sync and folders.

Steps to Reproduce

ros backup -f ros/data/ -t ros_backup/data

"ros/data" is the location of my realm data.

Version of Realm and Tooling

@ianbradbury-bizzibody Right. That is the intended behavior. The "sync" directory contains the important server files. The "realms" directory contains client type copies of the server realms.

If you check the content of "realms", and compare with "sync/user_data" you should find all the realms from "realms" in "sync/user_data".

You can make an experiment yourself. Start ROS from a backup, and then check "realms" afterwards. You should see that the files have been regenerated.

This behavior is due to the fact that ROS uses the synchronization mechanism internally.

Yes!

I tested, spinning up a new ROS server, copied over the back-up and voila!

Lovely Jubbly.
