problem in restoreing the bitbucket data

Question

Hi,

I am following this  document to backup and restore the data in my local sever.

https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver/using-bitbucket-zero-downtime-backup-829920023.html

After configuring  the bitbucket server i am tried to backup and restore the data.

I got the backup file successfully.

Now i am trying to restore the data.

by running this command

./bitbucket.diy-restore.sh bitbucket-20180831-181100

[common.sh:17 -> source][infyn] DEBUG: Using vars file: './bitbucket.diy-backup.vars.sh'
[archive-tar.sh:35 -> prepare_restore_archive][infyn] ERROR: Cannot restore over existing contents of '/home/dev/zero/'. Please rename or delete this first.
Stack trace:
[./archive-tar.sh:35 -> prepare_restore_archive]
[./bitbucket.diy-restore.sh:0 -> main]

Renamed  home directory  to another name but again its not working  getting same error.

Again and again .

so, kindly help in backup the data  in bitbucket

Thank & regards

Hi prasanth,

Thanks for your reply

I tried the above approach

the home directory exit.

./bitbucket.diy-restore.sh bitbucket-20180827-205924
[common.sh:17 -> source][infyn] DEBUG: Using vars file: './bitbucket.diy-backup.vars.sh'
Exists
[archive-tar.sh:35 -> prepare_restore_archive][infyn] ERROR: Cannot restore over existing contents of '/home/dev/Zero'. Please rename or delete this first.
Stack trace:
[./archive-tar.sh:35 -> prepare_restore_archive]
[./bitbucket.diy-restore.sh:0 -> main]

Again Renamed the  folder called bithome

dev@infyn:~/atlassian-bitbucket-diy-backup$ ./bitbucket.diy-restore.sh bitbucket-20180827-205924
[common.sh:17 -> source][infyn] DEBUG: Using vars file: './bitbucket.diy-backup.vars.sh'
Exists
[archive-tar.sh:35 -> prepare_restore_archive][infyn] ERROR: Cannot restore over existing contents of '/home/dev/bithome'. Please rename or delete this first.
Stack trace:
[./archive-tar.sh:35 -> prepare_restore_archive]
[./bitbucket.diy-restore.sh:0 -> main]

Hi Kumaravel

This is interesting!  Can you please check whether the directory exists after the restore run fails or it just returns true for a non-existing directory?

if [ -e "${BITBUCKET_HOME}" ]

You may also check whether there are any other section in the back up script that creates this directory.

Try running below also and see what it returns

if [ -e /home/dev/Zero/ ]; then echo "Exists"; else echo "Doesn't exist"; fi

You may also run it for an existing and non existing directory and check what it returns.

Hi prasanth,

Have you specified the right BITBUCKET_HOME in bitbucket.diy-backup.vars.sh?

yes, i have specified correct path by creating a new path to restore.

dev@infyn:~/atlassian-bitbucket-diy-backup$ ./bitbucket.diy-restore.sh bitbucket-20180906-165224

[common.sh:17 -> source][infyn] DEBUG: Using vars file: './bitbucket.diy-backup.vars.sh'

[archive-tar.sh:35 -> prepare_restore_archive][infyn] ERROR: Cannot restore over existing contents of '/home/dev/Zero/'. Please rename or delete this first.
