Hi
Iam running erpnext on windows using Vm
I have gone through the settings of dropbox and have created an app
entered the app access and secret key
but still there are no backups in the folder
how do I set this right
I have accessed the files using FileZilla
any chance I can take a back up through FileZilla
Thanks and regards
Hemanth
do you setting accept permission in your dropbox for that folder backup?
Thanks for the reply
How do I check the same
Thanks komsel2228
I figured it out
its working now
can you guide me as to how I can restore backups
iam running on windows with vm

frappe-bench$ bench --force restore path_backupfile
Hi komsel2228
Thanks for the reply
the backup is there in dropbox
erpnext is already running and is live ( using for production)
I have a scenario where I have to run this on a different pc
I will install vm and run erpnext on the new computer
from hereā¦ how do I ?
get the backup from dropbox and start using erpnext on the new machine
Thanks again

Paths are relative to sites folder.
For the file frappe-bench/sites/site1backup.sql.gz, restore command is

Hi
i connected the file thru filezilla
transfered my .sql file to backup private folder
then i ran bench restore with path
it ran the restore
but i get an error " exception database d5xxxx alredy exists
how to resolve this
Thanks
Would this apply in your case?
This may help too 
You already have database with the same name.
Rename or delete it before you process with the restore.
Hope this helps.
