Transferring Virtual Server 4.86Gb gave this error:
Transferring domain.com to new.server …
Backing up to destination system ..
/bin/tar: -: Cannot write: Broken pipe
/bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
.. backup to remote system failed!
… transfer failed
There is plenty or Disk space and available RAM on both servers.
I checked and there was a 2,5Gb Duplicator backup, so I moved that and the transfer was successful. I then copied the Duplicator file manually afterwards.
This also raises the point that from what I see, if the Delete option is selected, the transfer process is:
- Makes backup
- Deletes original site
- Copies to new server
- Restores to new server.
So any problem with 3) or 4) would mean that you could lose the lot.
Would it be better to only delete the original after the copy and restore have completed?
I have been doing manual deletes after seeing that behaviour and right now I am glad that I did.
