I have copied the default, default-0.mb, default-1.mb, default-2.mb, default-3.mb files from the one membase single node machine and moved it on to another machine. I'm trying to copy the data over to the other machine and I'm getting the following error:

C:\Program Files\Membase\Server\bin\ep_engine\management>mbrestore.exe -a "C:\Pr
ogram Files\Membase\Server\data\bu_ns_1\default" "C:\Program Files\Membase\Serve
r\data\bu_ns_1\default-0.mb" "C:\Program Files\Membase\Server\data\bu_ns_1\defau
lt-1.mb" "C:\Program Files\Membase\Server\data\bu_ns_1\default-2.mb" "C:\Program
 Files\Membase\Server\data\bu_ns_1\default-3.mb"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "mbrestore", line 151, in <module>
    for db_name in attached_dbs:
  File "mbrestore", line 109, in main
    parser.add_option("-a", "--add", action="store_true", default=False,
sqlite3.DatabaseError: file is encrypted or is not a database

 

Could anyone help me with what is going on?

 

Thanks,

I believe we corresponded over our jira issue here: http://www.couchbase.org/issues/browse/MB-3360

Basically, in pre-1.7 you need to run: /opt/membase/bin/ep_engine/management/sqlite3 default 'pragma journal_mode=delete' on all the files before using the restore.

If you download 1.7, you can use the mbrestore script provided there and not have to use that workaround.
