But where is the stick now plugged? In your Desktop computer? In your Raspberry?

[Tiger]

@thomas-braun
plug on the raspberry, and i've install without desktop... as recommended

[Thomas Braun]

@tiger

I don't get it...

ls -la /media

[Tiger]

@thomas-braun

Sorry, I didn't found up to know how to copy text from PuTTY

[Thomas Braun]

@tiger

Copy the backupfile from your Desktop computer over to the Raspberry with FileZilla. Target directroy /opt/iobroker/backups

[Tiger]

@thomas-braun
ok, I've to search how to achieve it... Filezila should be installed on raspberry? or only on y desktop computer?

If you've a website with some tuto or explanation... it should good :)

I'm going to work now... will try later.

Thanks a lot.

[Tiger]

@thomas-braun
ok found an explanation...
will try later.

[Tiger]

@thomas-braun

everything done..
try to restore...
but

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ iobroker restore 2022_08_15-10_41_07_backupiobroker.tar.gz
iobroker controller daemon is not running
host.raspberrypi OK.
The current version of js-controller differs from the version in the backup.
The js-controller version of the backup can not be restored automatically.
To restore the js-controller version of the backup, execute "npm i iobroker.js-controller@3.1.6 --production" inside your ioBroker directory
If you really want to restore the backup with the current installed js-controller, execute the restore command with the --force flag

but

what a luck!

as @crunchip mentioned you should install vis before restore
so please do it now.

---

the fialog asks you what controller you wsnt to have.
The actual install also has the actual controller.

Your backup has an ancient one

so please install vis iobroker install vis after that make another try ant choose the

restore command with the --force flag

i.e.

@tiger sagte in Update System iobroker failed:
iobroker restore 2022_08_15-10_41_07_backupiobroker.tar.gz --force

(i hope)

@homoran

Vis installed
Backup with --force done...
ADmin version has beenn downgrade to 4.0 as before...

In the journal log it seems that iobroker is reinstalling all the adapters needed...

as there is all line like that

[Homoran]

@tiger at this moment the restore itself is finished and all adapters were built.
this will last a time

[Tiger]

@homoran said in Update System iobroker failed:

It can take is time:)
after that, supposed that all adapters will be installed with the last versions...
and the last thing will be to update the iobroker.admin... and perhaps js-controller depending of the version.

[Homoran]

@tiger sagte in Update System iobroker failed:

no!
they will stay in their versions of the backup.
but now your controller is in a living version and all updates should work

@tiger sagte in Update System iobroker failed:

it has to be the next thing, and then the others

[Tiger]

@homoran
everything came back as before.
But, Things I forgot to do...

Node-red doens't work as all node has to be reinstall ...

So, what is your recommandation? trying to have all working as before and after made the update?

Or I search before how to have the backup of Node-red and other things... before continue?

same for VIS, not possible to connect to vis from browser

ohhhh, I didn't work with node red for years now.
let's try to call @mickym , i guess he can help. I've read there are different possibilities to install the nodes not supplied with the adapter.

[mickym]

@tiger You can try - the following.

Restore from your former image the package.json file into /opt/iobroker/iobroker-data/node-red directory. replace the existing one or rename it. Run npm install.

Change to that directory:

cd /opt/iobroker/iobroker-data/node-red
npm install

[Tiger]

@mickym

thanks for your answer,
To be sure what I've to do... (to avoid problem... I'm newbee :) )

I've juste to replace the package.json file in the actual directory /opt/iobroker/iobroker-data/node-red by the old one my old sdcard?

and after that run npm install, correct?

stupid question, to have access to the file on my old SDcard, is it possible to place the SDcard on my windows desktop pc and save it? or I've to place the old SDcard in the raspberry Pi to pick up file with filezilla?

[Homoran]

@tiger sagte in Update System iobroker failed:

I'm pretty sure windows won't see it :-(

correct. I doubt that you can directly access the files on your SD card , because you have no drivers in windows. for the ext4 file system. In your case - I would boot with the old SD card and copy the whole directory /opt/iobroker/iobroker-data/node-red to your USB stick. When you boot with the new card - you should have access to all files wherever you mounted your USB stick. You should even be able to replace the complete new directory in the /opt/iobroker-dat with the old one. Rename the exiting one and replace it with the new one. If you want to know what the files in your /opt/iobroker/iobroker-data/node-red data mean you can have a look to my extensive description here: https://github.com/ioBroker/ioBroker.node-red/issues/320
