When using TKLBAM to restore to cloud, my VMs no longer work
Dear Community,
I have about 6-7 VMs build from TK Core and TK Redmine instances.
I added the API for TKLBAM to each VM, backup up and then restored to a new cloud instance. However, now that I have spun up my cloud versions, the VMs no longer run thir applications.
Attached is an error I get once I restore my Redmine instance. And I have had broken EMR servers built off core. The firewall settings are all 100% open, so that's not the issue. It just seems like the backup or migration parts of TKBLAM might not be doing what one would expect.
Any help would be wonderful as I am out of ideas. I have tried larger instances, both 64 and 32 bit versions... nothing seems to be working as I would expect...
Best,
Casey

Reply 1Okay, now my backup is more complete
Reply 2But the Restore has taken 20 hours so far on a medium instance. It's a 2GB backup, why is the restore taking so long?
Sounds like you worked stuff out...
Reply 3TBH I'm not sure why it takes so long. I have never included that volume of data in a backup so mine are almost instant (my fileserver has masses of data but I back that up locally cause it's not that important and the bandwidth consumed and the time it takes to upload is ridiculous...)
There was a suggestion some time ago to have some sort of progress reporting from TKLBAM on backup and restore though which I think would be good (and would at least give users some idea of how long to expect...)
And of course I can't just wait for an answer.... So, if my VMs are all built from TK Core, the default backups maybe only grab a few directories. If this is the case, I need to use webmin to fully backup and redeploy my VM (and now I know why the file size was so small)? Any tips on how to ask it to do the whole VM easily? Also, there is a huge use case for being able to easily deploy a new version of one of our apps, is there an easy way to make my own VM image that TKLBAM will be able to auto deploy?
Best,
Casey
