Restore failed ERPNext 15

Hi there,

I’m trying to upgrade from v13 to v15. Therefore I set up a new, dedicated VM that should hold the new release. I installed plain frappe / erpnext / hrms as statet in this blog article: [Guide] How to install ERPNext v15 on Linux Ubuntu (step-by-step instructions). I have a working ERPNext installation and created one site where I’m able to login. I completed the installation wizard as well.

Now I want to restore a backup from my v13. I tried it with the following command:
frappe@erpnext-vm:~/frappe-bench$ bench --site site1.local restore --with-public-files sites/site1.local/private/backups/20240329_000058-site1_local-files.tar --with-private-files sites/site1.local/private/backups/20240329_000058-site1_local-private-files.tar sites/site1.local/private/backups/20240329_000058-site1_local-b --force

But this leads to an error I cant understand and I don’t know, what to do in this case:

Exception: Command failed

I use the following versions:
bench v5.22.3
ERPNext: v15.18.3 (version-15)
Frappe Framework: v15.19.1 (version-15)
Frappe HR: v15.15.0 (version-15)

Can anyone help with this issue?

Cheers,

command can’t find the path.

Gnarf - the command “file” was not installed on server.

Needed to install via apt

sudo apt install file

Thanks anyway :slight_smile:
