Hi
I'm trying to reach a backup directory outside of the site, but it doesn't work. Is it due to the path? or conceptually it can't do it in your opinion? https://monsiteA/zSauve/monsiteA/site-monsiteA-20240404-093757.jpa
/monsiteA/
/zSave/monsiteA/
Everybody will be able to see its contents. Do not include usernames, passwords or any other sensitive information.

When you run Kickstart it comes up with a path. Let's say it is /home/example/public_html. This is your site's root. You can now append the relative path to your backup folder to it, e.g. /home/example/public_html/zSauve/monsiteA. Then click on Reload to load the archives from that path. You should now be able to pick the file you want.

Hi
Thanks it works because I'm on the same server.
However, my question is about importing from an url.
Should I move the x.jpa files to the root of a site? or
is it possible to reach the first jpa file if it is outside the site root
/monsiteA/ (site root directory)
/zBackup/ (directory of my site backups
|-monsiteA/ (sub folder)
If you are importing from a different server, the file must be accessible over the web. If it's above the web root, you cannot access it over the web, therefore you cannot import it.

ok I suspected it but I preferred to have confirmation
Hi
I restored a site with kickstart in a directoryA. It works, I conclude that the jpa files are correct.
I use the same backups on the same server to restore the same site, in directory B, with kickstart Pro but recovering the jpa files from directory A.
I have a failure at the end on a jpg file in a cache subdirectory of k2!
could there be a solution?
Or is it better that I go through a restore in the directory directoryB by copying the files from directoryA (8GB)
Hi
Ah I forgot the photo. I tried again, it failed a second time.
I don't understand since these files were used to restore this site once!!
maybe the idea would be not to restore this K2 cache?
Read your screen. It tells you why it happens and what to do to fix it.

Hi
Ah sorry since I left the screen.I read the screen well at the time but I didn't understand what to do.
can you redirect me to the correct paragraph in your FAQ?
Your problem is that the archive file is corrupt, truncated, or missing part files.
If you have a multipart archive transfer all of them.
If you do not have a multipart archive, the server most likely gave up while doing the import. Make sure you have enough free disk space for the backup archive and the restored site. If possible, take a backup with a smaller part size (sizes around 250 MiB work for almost all servers), and try again.
If all else fails, you can upload the old-school way: download to your computer, then upload to the other server.

Hi
Yes I have 4x2 GB + 0.6 GB which were transferred to the root of the new site
you can upload the old-school way: download to your computer, then upload to the other server.
=> That's what I did
I can redo the backup ~6 hours but I don't understand why it is corrupted when it's the same one that already worked!?
...
Well I just went after checking the “ignore” errors box since they are image errors in the cache. the site seems to be functional
I would suggest that you exclude that big cache folder from the next backup. If it's not necessary to be in the backup, there's no point including a big chunk of unnecessary data in the backup, right?
