In case of disaster recovery, the configuration backup should support the restore of previously installed modules.
The re-installation of previous modules should be optional but enabled by default.

  • The configuration backup save the list of all modules during the pre-backup-config event
  • If the server bust be restored, the restore-config command must reinstall all RPMs, including nethserver-cgp and nethserver-mail-common

Install Updated Package

yum --enablerepo=nethserver-testing update nethserver-backup-config-1.4.1-1.1.g335aee0.ns6

Test Results after update
VM1:
updated nethserver-backup-config
installed some other Groups: Basic firewall, Email, File server, POP3 connector, POP3 proxy, SMTP proxy, Spanish language, VPN, Web filter, Web server
backup-config
scp backup-config.tar.xz to VM2
shutdown VM1

VM2: (with ip different from VM1)
updated nethserver-backup-config
restore-config
very fast, i can connect to VM2 using ip of VM1
assign role to physical interface is requested
no packages restored
after a new restore-config, the all modules from VM1 have been installed on VM1
re login on VM2 , a new assign role to physical interface is requested
after that it's all OK
i don't know if this is the correct behavior expected from devs. If so, maybe in the manual should be documented the correct steps to restore.

NEEDINFO (see note)

Note
i don't know if this is the correct behavior expected from devs or if the restore should work with a single restore-config.
tested also from webui with the same results
BTW: tnx for this enhancement is really useful :)

No, it's not the right behavior: the nethserver-backup-config-list-packages action is executed before the list of package is ready.
I will try to fix it.

Thanks to you for your effort!
