Restore does not work in new version of Duplicati

Support
1

I installed the new version 2.2.0.1 of Duplicati. It is not possible to restore files from local backups that were made with the old version. It gives an error message like: ”Missing Local Database” and the try to use the function to recreate the database ”Restore (delete and repair)” does almost nothing. It shows a message like that: ”File not fopund C:\Users\steph\AppData\Local\Duplicati\SFVETSFYJQ.sqlite”. Interestingly the restore works when switching to the old UI.

There are a few ways to start the restore process. Which of these best describe your setup?

  • I have a backup configured and running, and I am restoring from that
  • I have imported a backup configuration and am restoring from that
  • I use the “Direct restore from backup files” option
  • I use the “Restore from configuration” option

Hi @kenkendk ,

I have a backup configured with the previous version of Duplicati and running, and I am restoring from that with the new UI. The error does not occur when I switch to the old UI.

Hi @kenkendk ,
I found a possible problem. In my old backups, created with the old UI, I have parameter –dbpath set. The function “Recreate (delete and repair)” seems to recreate the DB in the folder specified by the parameter –dbpath. But the new UI does not check for this parameter and tries to find the database in path AppData\Local\Duplicati.
