Lost my sqlite files

[kmand]

I lost my sqlite files (did something stupid), but I have json files for the configurations. The backups themselves are on google drive.

How do I go from the json files to rebuilding the sqlite databases? I’m on Linux.

[gpatel-fr]

the fine manual states that you have to import your json file and then start restoring.

I lost my sqlite files

I’m going to assume that means both the Duplicati-server.sqlite with the configurations and the larger randomly-named job database(s) that are usually in the same folder. If not, then just adjust directions.

The @gpatel-fr link is great (thanks!) for a faster way to do a one-time restore. For longer-term setup:

Creating a new backup job

so now you have the job configuration but aren’t quite back until you give the job a recreated database:

Database management

If you have no database now, the Recreate (delete and repair) won’t be enabled, so just Repair.
