I’ve migrated an old Mac (macOS High Sierra) to a new Mac (Mojave). When I first ran Duplicati I got errors. Rebuilding the database(s) did not help. So, I did a recreate. That ends with a “missing remote file”. What next?
[Additional info:]
What I did exactly:
- On the old system: ran duplicati backups, this worked fine (two sets: one on local disk, one on remote storage)
- Booted from the new Mac
- Migrated to the new Mac from a TimeMachine backup that was 10 hours old and before the backups
- Hence, the local database was from before the storage (for both backups)
- I ran repairs and recreates before I realised what had happened
- When I realised what had happened, I copied the local databases in /var/root/.config over to the new system
- Backup on the first set failed again
- Repair on backup on the first set failed with the same error as before
- Recreate database on the first set also failed, now with two missing remote files instead of one, so I’m afraid my actions has further degraded the actual storage
What do I do to fix this? And: The Duplicati command line help is all Windows. How do I run these commands on the Mac?
