How to properly backup and restore kanboard instance

[p-jones]

Hi,

I have an instance of Kanboard running on an Ubuntu VM. All is well. However, it is a mission-critical install and I want to ensure everything is backed up appropriately.

My db is mysql. I have done a database backup using mysqldump and I have successfully restored the kanboard tiles on another machine using that. So far, so good!

However, even though I copied the entire data folder into my new machine, the attachments don't show up. So, question #1 is How to get file attachments to work properly on a new instance from a backup.

Question #2 is how to backup and restore the custom login screen I have set up using the Customizer plugin. The actual plugin seems to show the login screen but the custom assets (i.e., logo image files) are not working.

Thanks for any help!

Backing up/restoring the database and copying the data folder to the new machine should work.

Make sure the data folder is in the expected location and there are no permission issues.
