Subject: AW: Restore from Backup: Should it work to restore backup from system A on system B?
I remember that backing up and restoring databases might result in surprises if you work with different operating systems (due to the different case sensitivity
handling). If you use both a UNIX-based and a Windows system, it might help to run a subsequent OPTIMIZE or OPTIMIZE ALL.

Betreff: [basex-talk] Restore from Backup: Should it work to restore backup from system A on system B?
Using BaseX 11.6 on RHEL 9, I created a backup of a database on system A, copied the zip to my personal machine, then used the DBA upload and restore to recreate the database on the new server. I verified that the Zip has the
expected data files, so it looks legit.
The database is created but no data is loaded, so the database shows 0 bytes.
Should this load have worked?
I can also just scp the database from one server to the other if that is reliable, or just unzip the zip on the target server—should that work?
Cheers,
E.
