I was running on 7.x-2.7 and upgraded to see if that would resolve my issue. It did not.

When trying to restore a database from a file (tar.gz), I receive the following errors:

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$uri in backup_migrate_ui_manual_restore_form_submit() (line 677 of /home/ktarec/public_html/sites/all/modules/backup_migrate/backup_migrate.module).

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$uri in backup_migrate_destination_browser_upload->load_file() (line 44 of /home/ktarec/public_html/sites/all/modules/backup_migrate/includes/destinations.browser.inc).

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$uri in backup_migrate_destination_browser_upload->load_file() (line 45 of /home/ktarec/public_html/sites/all/modules/backup_migrate/includes/destinations.browser.inc).

Unable to restore from file /home/ktarec/tmp/backup_migrate_aOMhwp because a file can't be restored to this database.
Could not perform the restore.

I get the following error messages in my Recent Log Messages:

Unable to restore from file /home/ktarec/tmp/backup_migrate_aOMhwp because a file can't be restored to this database.

Could not perform the restore.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I'm getting this error for a database backup that I've just made on another copy of the site.

The downloaded file wasn't created properly - trying to unzip on the command line gave this error:

  a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the

If you open the file in a text editor, what does it look like?

I am asking because several browsers unpack a downloaded .gz file, but do not rename it when saving it to the local file system.
