restore_xi failed

I'm getting these errors when testing restore of tar.gz file archived by backup_xi.

The source machine is 64bit and the destination is 32bit. Is this a known issue?

Thanks,

Yes, you are restoring from a 64 bit server to 32 bit. It's not an issue, it's a matter of bits and bytes You will not be able to restore some portions of your backup due to trying to put it on a 32-bit system as noted below. There is a warning about this that is part of the restore_xi.sh script so yes, we do know about the implications of this. You will also have trouble restoring your RRD files (contain performance data) to a different architecture. My suggestion, is to restore to a 64 bit system. If you are really downgrading to a 32-bit one, then you will have a bit of work ahead of you with turning it into an XI server with the old data, which we can help you with.

Thanks slansing.

We'll be sure to restore to 64bit system.
