I'm moving from one machine (running 6.0.0) to another (where I've installed 6.2.0). I used the
BackupRestoreConsole to create a backup and then did a restore. Everything seemed to work, but the attachments (in fact all of the "pub" directories) are missing. I unzipped the file and sure enough -- lots of "data" files, but no "pub" directories or files in the zip file (5527 files total). I tried the Backup option again with the same result.

Discussion and Answer
Oh, that could be the limitation of the zip utility. Depending on the OS and version it might only handle up the 4GB worth of files. If too big for your zip utility, try to find a zip that can handle more, or manually create a tarball of your
twiki/pub
, then restore to the new TWiki installation. I recommend to omit the
twiki/pub/TWiki
directory.

The zip file is 21MB, but 'du -sh' on the pub directory shows 2.1GB, so it should fit in a 4GB file, but I'll do the manual steps. Thanks.
