DR is disaster recovery. Copy is OK...I tar the file and sftp to the server. backup/restore work ok from CLI for me too, but only if backup is done of the original server and resotre is done on the same server. Tring taking backup of server A and restore it to vanilly server B does not. Will that work for anyone?
