Backup failed :(

Post by EdwinK »

After a crash with domoticz earlier, tried to restore a backup I had.

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

And of course now domoticz isn't working anymore.

Perhaps run the tar with sudo?

Reinstalled, tried again and again, and suddenly the backup was loaded. HAd tried several times before with sudo. Strange things happen.

Onwards with setting deconz and mqtt up again.

Also check if errors with dmesg. Sometimes bad power supplies can give such unexpected random behaviour
