Issure restoring website to NEW server, from ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04

Question

grep: /root/webinoly_<sitename>_2023-10-10-14:04:14: binary file matches

[ERROR] File not found or empty!

No issue when restoring to an unbutu 20.04 machine. Only issue when restoring on 22.04 machine.

Had to manually uncompress via tar xvf, and restore the site.

Is this error normal?

Comments

command used is
sudo webinoly -backup=local -import=sites -file=/root/<filename>

I'm having the same issue on 22 using :

sudo webinoly -backup=local -import=sites -file=/home/ubuntu/webinoly_base22.example.org_2023-10-09-16:32:54

If you are having issues restoring, your best option is to extract the files inside it and recreate the site, import the DB, and move your wp-content files.

This is the only solution I know for now.

You can use tar -xvzf /file/location to extract on your linux vm

Thanks I appreciate it!

Thanks a lot for reporting this issue!

Can you please try changing this code:

# File: /opt/webinoly/lib/bkp (line: 963)

# Change this:
if [[ ! -f $file || ( -f $file && ( ! -s $file || -z $(grep '[^[:space:]]' $file ))) ]]; then

# To this:
if [[ ! -f $file || ( -f $file && ( ! -s $file || -z $(cat -v $file | grep '[^[:space:]]'))) ]]; then

Please, test it and tell me if it works.

Regards.
