Question about Backup and Restore

[compX44]

Hello @gilesknap

I am following along with the Backup and Restore instructions and I have a question. For the part after (.venv), are we using the username info before the @ sign? I tried a variety of ways, but I keep getting a syntax error.

1. useradd@DESKTOP-KSM4GML:~/my_world$ (.venv) [useradd@ws1 mciwb]$ ls $HOME/mciwb-backups
   bash: syntax error near unexpected token `[useradd@ws1'

2. useradd@DESKTOP-KSM4GML:~/my_world$ (.venv) [ahUn1t$@ws1 mciwb]$ mciwb restore my-first-backup
   bash: syntax error near unexpected token `[ahUn1t$@ws1'

3. useradd@DESKTOP-KSM4GML:~/my_world$ (.venv) [useradd@DESKTOP-KSM4GML mciwb]$ ls $HOME/mciwb-bqckups
   bash: syntax error near unexpected token `[useradd@DESKTOP-KSM4GML'

Sorry for the confusion.
In my command examples (.venv) [giles@ws1 mciwb]$ is what my prompt looks like.
So you only need to type the commands after that i.e.

ls $HOME/mciwb-backups
mciwb restore my-first-backup

I need to tidy up those examples and remove the confusing prompt

Ah, okay. I typed the commands and was able to execute them properly. Thanks for your help.

👍
I'll leave this open until I have fixed the docs.

I've tidied up the documentation here https://gilesknap.github.io/mciwb/main/user/how-to/backup.html#backups-of-mciwb-server
