Restore procedure

[rovall]

Hi, I need to migrate my installation from one laptop to another. I have made backup.tar.gz on the old laptop using CentOS7.exe, moved it together with CentOS7.exe to the new laptop... and what next?

Trying to launch just CentOS7.exe results in error:

C:\CentOS>CentOS.exe
Installing...
ERROR:Installation Failed!
HRESULT:0x80070005
Press any key to continue...

I tried downloading Launcher.exe - same issue. I have re-downloaded the whole distribution and it installed successfully. After manually unpacking backup.tar.gz and replacing rootfs folder, I get this:

C:\CentOS>CentOS7.exe
Performing one-time upgrade of the Windows Subsystem for Linux file system for this distribution...
The specified network name is no longer available.

Could you please write a bit about restore procedure? In the README maybe. I think it would be helpful.

Please execute this command:

CentOS.exe install backup.tar.gz

or

rename backup.tar.gz to rootfs.tar.gz and execute exe for installation.

Hi, Thank you for your answer, but I have described what happens when I do exactly what you asked me to do. An attempt ends in error.

What is error code? Could you uninstall instance and retry...? wslconfig /u CentOS7

That was a completely new installation of Windows. And I have already solved it using LxRunOffline utility, so I'm not sure I can reproduce the problem.

But that's probably good to know for others that you can specify an archive in an "install" command.

Ok.
