Restoring backup with Runway – asset missing locally
Hi,
I'm running 2.8.2. I've a backup setup with Amazon S3. It works fine, it backs-up the database and I do see a default
folder in the amazon bucket that contains the assets.
Nevertheless, when I restore a given backup to my local environment – in order to get it sync-up with what I have in production – it's pulling the database properly but the asset is missing locally.
Note, that I haven't configured any specific bucket for the assets. When I add a new asset in the admin, it goes straight to perch/ressources/
.
buckets.php looks like this:
return [
'daily' => [
'type' => 'amazon_s3',
'web_path' => 'myproject.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com',
'file_path' => 'myproject',
]
]
Cheers,
Is your expectation that the assets would all be downloaded from the remote bucket to your local system?
Yes, is this pure fantasy? :D thought it is possible after seing this video: https://docs.grabaperch.com/video/v/runway-site-migration/
In that case all the files are in cloud storage, and it's the database that is being backed up and restored.
At the moment we don't download those files, but I can take a look and see what might be involved in doing that.
That would be a nice addition. Thanks for considering it!
Cheers,
