Hello, I tried twice to import a full backup of everything from same type of system (Debian 7 32bit).
The only differences between the two systems were that the first had plaintext password and the second was going to have hashed passwords.
I recovered the backup from Amazon and it got stuck at Extracting TAR file...
After navigating away from the page, I saw that the domain was only partially copied, eg the database was empty and only the domain owner had been created.
Then, I tried to delete the domain but the opearion got stuck again so I could not delete the domain. After rebuilding twice the whole VPS, I decided to recreate the domain manually, install site and database, and recreate the email accounts.
At this point my question is: can I just copy the Homes folder Maildirs manually as well? Or something will break? Any other suggestion?
Thank you.
When I sourced the database dump manually, I ran into this series of errors because of the 1MBmax packet size: http://injustfiveminutes.com/2013/02/14/errors-restoring-mysql-database-...
Could this explain the restore and delete failures?
The reason turned out to be some symlinks causing infinite recursion. It would help to have more debugging information printed to the Virtualmin restore screen during the restore operation.
