Export OMV 2.0 and import on fresh install

  • Hi,


    is it possible to export a OMV2 configuration and reimport it on a fresh OMV3 install ? I have play a lot with pip and other things and I prefere to reinstall my Debian from scratch.


    Thx

  • Hi,


    Thx... But is there a way to recover some informations from my OMW 2 to a fresh install OMV3 ?
    Or is it possible to upgrade OMV2 -> OMV3 and export OMV3 on OMV3 ?

    You can save /etc/openmediavault/config.xml to look at for reference. You just can't import it.


    Or is it possible to upgrade OMV2 -> OMV3

    omv-release-upgrade will upgrade OMV 2.x to OMV 3.x.


    export OMV3 on OMV3 ?

    No. There is no way to export or import.

    Thx :-), but by export / import, I want to say use cat, tar, cp, or any command line. Not use a import /export GUI or WebUI.


    Can I use a /etc/openmediavault/config.xml from OMV2 on OMV 3 ? It's the only file to restore service states and configuration (ie: samba, etc...) ?

    You could restore a backup over a fresh install but you wouldn't gain anything since you would need to restore all of the files.

    Since the file is just for reference on the setup, you could use either. But, you can't copy that file to the new install and hope it works.


    I see where you are going with this but I have never come up with a good way. Otherwise, I would have put it in the backup plugin.
