Trouble Restoring to RHEL8 from RHEL7 Backup

[KarenJ]

I need some assistance doing a restore. I am running Nagios XI 2024R1.1.1 on both systems. Our prod system is on RHEL7, our test system is RHEL8. I'm trying to restore the test box from a prod box backup. This is what I get:

[root@AWPPLCOLEDMOI02 ~]# /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/restore_xi.sh /store/backups/nagiosxi/1720614651.tar.gz

Any ideas? Thanks!

HI @KarenJ,

The first thing I would check is if the tar file is incomplete or corrupt. Did you run out of disk space during the backup?

I would also try running restore_xi.sh from the scripts directory.

Let us know what you find.

Thank you!
