Restore backup on Synology?

Help & Support
1

So I’ve followed the guide from the wiki, but I get an error that I don’t know what to do with when running the cp command.

Restore for Synology NAS

Re-install Sonarr :heavy_check_mark:

Run Sonarr once to get the AppData directory location :heavy_check_mark:

Stop Sonarr :heavy_check_mark:

Connect to the Synology NAS through SSH and login as root :heavy_check_mark:

execute the following commands

rm -r /usr/local/nzbdrone/var/.config/NzbDrone/nzbdrone.db-* :heavy_check_mark:
cp -f /tmp/nzbdrone_backup/. /usr/local/nzbdrone/var/.config/NzbDrone/

This is where I get the error,> cp: omitting directory ‘/tmp/nzbdrone_backup/.’
I’m not sure what to do from here.

For the record the nzbdrone.db and config.xml files from the backup are in the /tmp/nzbdrone_backup/ folder. Because I am inefficient with the command line, I used WinSCP to create the nzbdrone_backup folder in the tmp directory, and then copied the files from my desktop.

cp -f /tmp/nzbdrone_backup/* /usr/local/nzbdrone/var/.config/NzbDrone/ instead maybe? Not sure why there would be a period there instead.

That was exactly the issue. The wiki needs to be updated to fix that typo.
