Restore backup via command line

[tonymontana]

Hi all

I want import 22 GB backup to user account. Backup looks like user.tar.gz.
I try restore via Direct Admin but this never end.
I read this article https://docs.directadmin.com/direct...ation/restore/#restoring-a-system-backup-file but I need more advice.

cd /etc
tar xvzfp /backup/07-30-04/custom/etc/virtual.tar.gz

My backup file path is: home/domain/backups/user.tar.gz
How to make correct command line for restore backup account?

Thank you for all replies.

I try restore via Direct Admin but this never end.

22 GB is a whole lot. How long did you want? Because this can take a really long time depending on system resources.
Also check if it's the database that is so big, otherwise you can restore website and stuff without database if it's a user backup.
After that you can extract the database from the backup and restore it via SSH.

Can't help you with total manual restore of the complete backup, never done that, but maybe there will be more reply's from others for that.

Did you try the guide? https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=42

I guess you have no quota installed, check using

/sbin/quotacheck -cavug
/sbin/quotaon -a

type:

cat /etc/fstab

and make sure that /home has usrquota,grpquota on its line.

Or / if you don't have a seperate /home partition.

Hi,

After this command /sbin/quotacheck -cavug i have this message:

quotacheck: Cannot find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option.

Is the /etc/fstab set up?

Do you see aquota.group and aquota.user files in root?

Can you show us the content of /etc/fstab?
