Hi all,

I searched the forum but cant seem to find the sollution.

I need to restore an admin backup of the admin users but keep getting the follwoing error
Unable to read the backed up user.usage file: Unable to get Lock on file:
open error for /home/admin/backups/backup/user.usage.lock: No such file or directory
/home/admin/backups/backup: No such file or directory

Cannot read /home/admin/backups/backup/packages.list to restore packages: Unable to open /home/admin/backups/backup/packages.list for reading.

The restore is done true the local admin_backups map.

Its an urgent problem for us becouse or administration is now down so i hope some one know how to fix becouse im a bit out of idee's
 
Check if the backup file has the correct permissions. eg admin.admin
 
The restore is done true the local admin_backups map.
You mean the backup is done via the local admin_backups directory I presume?

Because the restore is done from here:
/home/admin/backups/backup: No such file or directory
which the error notice also says. And this does not exist.

So either change your restore directory to your admin_backups directory, or copy your backup to the /backups/backup directory.
However, since it's also complaining there is no packagest.list present, your restore should be done from admin_backups too.

Yes its a local restore not using ftp restore couse this will give more errors.

i know for a fact that packagest.list exist i have exstracted a copy of the backup tar and could open the file.

Its a admin created backup so it has to be done true the admin backup function it doesn matter in what local dir the files are the file could also be on / you can put the dir in in the restore map
 
I believe you, but when the system says something isn't there, then it isn't there, or the system can't read it.
Maybe it's in the /admin/backups directory instead of the /admin/backups/backup/ directory, I looked over that myself once too when searching for a problem (door de bomen het bos niet meer zien).
Maybe that is not the case with you, but I can't see that from here.

You might too ask over at wht dot nl, maybe somebody there have other clues or ideas.
 
No problem.:)

Little correction.
With "ask over at wht dot nl" I ofcourse ment webhostingtalk dot nl.
