Hi, I used to backup files using Duplicati from Asustor NAS to BackBlaze (B2).
Now, I moved on to QNAP NAS.
I need to restore files backed up on B2 to QNAP now.
I tried to restore the files directly by selecting restore from config file, seems throws various errors (especially sql-lite database error).
Due to this, do you think I should the following instead?
1. Install Duplicati on QNAP (from https://www.qnapclub.eu/ repo store)
2. Import backup using config.json.aes file (originally created by Asustor NAS)
As the folder path no longer available on QNAP, choose a different path
3. Run Database repair
4. Once that is done, run Restore
Thanks
Yes, I would think your approach should work.
You may be able to skip step 3 if you manually copy the job-specific sqlite from your old NAS to your new one.

Thanks for your response; unfortunately I didn’t keep the sqlite from old NAS.
One thing I noticed, when I run the restore, the ‘scanning for local blocks’ takes an ages (been running for the past 3 days to restore 408GB files) and I see no data transfer is even running as yet; is this a normal behaviour?
Personally I’m not a fan of using local blocks during restore. You can disable this by using the –no-local-blocks option.
The idea of using local blocks is to save on download cost at the expense of processing time on the local side.
