Backup Restore fails with NullReferenceException

Support
1

Hi Sebastian, we have a self hosted Squidex with a single app that is showing degrading performance. In my research, I found the option to rebuild everything with the CONTENTS__OPTIMIZEFORSELFHOSTING flag from Squidex 7.0 Release Candidate 3 released - Squidex CMS which would hopefully save us.

But before I do this on Prod, I want to dry-run it on a fresh Docker container with the data from the backup. So I created a backup in our staging squidex instance and set up an instance (slightly edited docker compose from here) on my developer machine to restore the backup. But unfortunately this fails with an internal error. I think it must be a missing “AppId” but I cant figure out where exactly. I specified the optional app name and the app name is not in use. Can you identify the problem and help me?

Many thanks in advance!

Current behavior

Restoring a backup fails with a System.NullReferenceException that does not state the empty variable

Expected behavior

Restore is working or/and the error tells what variable is missing.

Minimal reproduction of the problem

I need the backup for that.

personal message went out :slightly_smiling_face:

Got it, tyvm … I will ahve a look asap

What I jsut saw, the download of the backup should probably take some time but ended after ~330ms. I dont think that the ~400MB got properly transferred in that time span

This backup is not valid. It does not start with an AppCreated event. It seems that someone has manipulated the events somehow and deleted stuff. There is nothing I can do.

Thank you very much! I am pretty sure that no one manually manipulated the database as no one has access. But we saw the history feature not working anymore a few weeks ago. Could this be related?

If the backup does not work, will the rebuild of the database with the selfhosted option work? I guess not, right?

9

this would not work either. You could use the CLI to make a backup as it does not save the events, only the current state.

10

Okay so it could work to

  1. make a backup via cli
  2. restore the backup into a new instance
  3. make the data structure rebuild with selfhosted flag in the new instance?

what would we lose doing so? only the history? are assets transferred in this process?

Could it be, that we have grown to big for the app to handle it? Here some values from the Squidex Database

Logical Data Size: 14.56GB, Storage Size: 3.04GB, Index Size: 4.39GB, Total Collections: 42

Assets are also exported to the target folder. You would only loose the history.

Your backup size is fine.

Helllo Sebastian,

I am working on this and got a backup with the “sync out” operation. When I try to import it via “sync in” I always get the following error and the tool exits. Is there any way how to see what bulk #32299 contains? I guess then I could fix it somehow manually?

Upserting #32298/3...                   succeeded.
Upserting #32299/0...                   succeeded.

Edit: I found some problems during the schema import. I guess this is related but I can not interpret the error message

Schema location updating...             failed: Validation error: FieldsInLists[0]: Field is not part of the schema., FieldsInLists[1]: Field is not part of the schema.
...
Schema test-plan updating...            failed: Validation error: FieldsInLists[1]: Field is not part of the schema.

The location json definition for reference:

{....}

edit 2: studying the json schema again, i found the issue with the fieldsInLists, as there where old entries that do not exist in the schema anymore

Sync in does not work over new apps, only existing apps.

Bulk #32298 is a file if I remember correctly.
