Restore Configuration Backup from Command Line
Restoring your Configuration Backup can be easily done from Webconfig. This guide, however, assists in a situation where you only have SSH or Console access to ClearOS. This guide is compatible with versions 6.x and 7.x of ClearOS.
Locate the Configuration Backup file
First you will need to locate the Configuration Backup file you wish to restore from. They are found in this directory: '/var/clearos/configuration_backup/'. You can list all Configuration Backup files found in that directory by executing the following command:
ls /var/clearos/configuration_backup/
Command to restore from Configuration Backup file
You must run the following commands as 'root'.
Define your Configuration Backup file as a variable named 'restorefile'. Replace 'nameoffile.tgz' with the actual name of the file.
restorefile=nameoffile.tgz
Then you can execute the following command:
configuration-restore -f /var/clearos/configuration_backup/${restorefile}
This can take up to five minutes to complete.
Check Progress of Restoration
You can check the progress by executing the following command:
tail -f /var/clearos/framework/tmp/configuration_backup.json
