How do I restore from an Admin Backup/Transfer backup? It made a bunch of .tar.gz files. The only reseller is admin. The files generated are:
admin.root.admin.tar.gz
user.admin.ineedah.tar.gz <-Very large file
user.admin.ineedahd.tar.gz <-That is a domain
user.admin.ineedam.tar.gz
user.admin....
When I go to restore the files to the new server, it doesn't recognize them. This article https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=57 scantly makes mention of this process that it refers to as new in 2008. This article is about the the old way.
- So are we saying we setup the IPs as outlined in the article?
- Are we saying DA doesn't know how to work with the .tar.gz files in memory so we have to explode them somewhere?
- I take it I would start with the admin.root.admin.tar.gz, and do the others one at a time somehow?
Thanks!
