Restore controller only by having db folder
Hello, accidentally I lost all files from the omada controller and the only thing left,is a backup of the folder db and all of it's content.
I set up a new controller (docker) and replace the new db folder that was created,with the one I have as a backup from the old controller.
Controller starts but monogodb cannot start...
Is there a change to have my old settings(I only need the devices settings) just from the db folder?
Does the new controller has to be at the exactly same version as the db folder was taken from?
Is there a way just from that folder and it's content,to determine the version of controller that was taken?
Thanks
Sorry.
We can't tell the controller version from the db file.
But the creation time or last modification time of the database file (or backup file) may have a certain relationship with the controller version release time. If you can obtain the approximate release schedule of TP-Link Omada controller versions, you can try to compare the file timestamps with it. For example, if a backup file is created shortly after the release of a specific version, then this backup may be based on that version. However, this method is only speculative and may be inaccurate due to factors such as update delays and differences in manual backup times.
Is your Docker working on a Windows or Linux system?
If Linux, you can install a new Omada controller and it will detect the file automatically. Like below:
Hi @xtrgeo
Normally, the file name will include the version number, such as the following file, it was export from controller version 5.14.26.23.
