myVesta

So on to part 2!
I have created another myVesta server on a different machine. The web page is working now mostly. I need to restore my backup from the old server to the new server now.
I have put the backup file in the /backup folder on the root of the HDD.
xxx@xxx1:/backup# ls -l
total 3974524
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4069908480 May 10 14:24 admin.2023-05-09_07-49-57.tar
In the myVesta backup page it shows no backups there.
On this move accounts page viewtopic.php?t=50 I also tried to use the command to restore: nice -n 19 ionice -c 3 v-restore-user UsernameOfAccount UsernameOfAccount.2020-06-20_01-10-02.tar , using my info inserted. I got this back-
ionice: failed to execute v-restore-user: No such file or directory. I know why this failed as my path is not set up so that v- commands work. So I changed the command to- nice -n 19 ionice -c 3 /usr/local/vesta/bin v-restore-user admin admin.2023-05-09_07-49-57.tar and got this back:
ionice: failed to execute /usr/local/vesta/bin: Permission denied
I am in as root via su so I am trying to figure out why I cannot restore my backup file.
Then I tried chmodding it to 777.
Ran this again; nice -n 19 ionice -c 3 /usr/local/vesta/bin v-restore-user admin admin.2023-05-09_07-49-57.tar. And got this>>>
ionice: failed to execute /usr/local/vesta/bin: Permission denied
So the base questions:
Where does the backup file need to be? Is /backup the one on the root of the HDD?
Why when it is there does it not show up in the backup page of the control panel?
How can I get my backup working in the new server?
Thank you very much for your help on this! The way I am going I will end up pulling all my hair out!

same here. not result. myvestacp is good hosting control panel but no results

Hi Earthlings and Others!
The backup that I put in there never did show up. BUT I just pointed the restore command to the / (root) folder where I put it and everything restored just fine! The auto-backup is working just fine now and it is saving the backups to the / folder where it belongs. You can also download the backups from the web page from the link provided there. Do backup downloads on regular basis and save your ass! BTW the backup saves everything and it restores everything so your restore is easy and complete!

Hello greetings I have a problem running vestacp on my Linux machine I get this error message


package yum has no installation candidate

Which Linux you running on? I use myVesta which is designed only for Debian Linux. myVesta does not work on other Linux OSes.
If you are setting it up in Debian it is really as the install script sets everything up. You need to start with a very basic Debian install with only SSH and FTP installed. This should fo into another subject area!
