Configuring ownCloud restore

A restore task involves browsing and selecting the desired save sets by time and task/filename, selecting restore type and restore target, enabling post interface for the client that runs ownCloud and specifying a special command for the post script.

Prerequisites

Depending on what you want to restore, make sure that you have the proper restore permissions and access rights.
Make sure that there is sufficient free space on the target system to which you are restoring your data.

Steps

You should look at the standard restore procedure for general instructions on how to configure a restore task. The following procedure shows only ownCloud-specific steps when configuring a restore task.

From the SEP sesam GUI menu bar, select Activities -> Restore -> select the save set for restore. In the third step of the wizard: Select task, from the list of the save sets click the desired backup version from which you want to restore restore, and then click Next.
In the Select files dialog, select the data you want to restore and click Next.

In the Save and start step of the restore wizard, click Expert options and then select the tab Pre/Post. Select the check box Execute Post to enable running the post script for this task. Click OK and then Save.

To use a pre/post interface, you have to activate it first and create a command as shown below. In the GUI menu bar, click Configuration -> Interfaces, select the Post interface, and then select the Restore interface and your ownCloud client.

In the interface script window, add the following command

"userThatOwnsOwnCloudDir"

"pathToOwnCloudDir"

/var/www/

Once done, click Save to activate the interface. The interface is saved to the <SESAM_ROOT>/bin/sesamdirectory. For more details, see Configuration: Interfaces.

You can view the status of your restore jobs by selecting Job state -> Restore from the Main selection. Restore overview provides detailed information on the last run of restore jobs, including the task name, status (successful, error, in queue ...), start and stop time of the last backup, data size, throughput, client and message.
