Restoring Backup after drive crash is not possible
newest NCP version 1.53.1
I had a running NextcloudPi instance and took a backup (including data and compressed) and exported NCP configuration to another drive. I run NextcloudPi on a Raspi4 from an SD card and had data directory and database moved to an external SSD drive.
My drive crashed (turns out it's a fake drive and unusable in the long run) and now I would like to use the backups to get my Nextcloud(pi) back up and running with a new, working drive. However, it doesn't work. Both routines (ncp-import and nc-restore) seem to expect a running database to do their work. But due to the crash I don't have a running database anymore. What I can do is format the new drive to use the same name as the crashed one and I can also create the folders ncdata etc.
Is this a bug in the scripts? Both scripts fail with error messages. Or am I doing something fundamentally wrong in restoring the updates? But isn't preparing for hardware failure one of the primary reasons to backup data?
Im curious. are you getting the same error as me in #1883? @anjasumma
