OS: Debian 13. Php8.4.

We’re trying to move openEMR 8.0.0(3) to another computer. An error came up with No site ID found.

sudo ./restore
./restore: line 17: shopt: -e: invalid option

Now you will be asked for the backup file.
By default this is named emr_backup.tar, although you may have saved it as something else.

Enter path/name of backup file: /home/emr_backup.tar

Am I doing something wrong?

Can’t say I’ve ever used the onboard backup utility, but the first place I’d start, would be to manually extract and examine the contents of your ‘emr_backup.tar’ file, to verify what’s in there.

Maybe someone with experience using that backup/restore tool can chime in here with better information about where it’s expecting to find that site ID as it goes through the extraction/data reconstruction process…
