After restoring backup (files and database) following problem appears:

2016/12/15 13:43:17 [error] 148#148: *13 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: Uncaught PHP Exception Drupal\Component\Plugin\Exception\PluginException: "Plugin (token_tree_table) instance class "Drupal\token\Element\TokenTreeTable" does not exist." at /var/www/html/core/lib/Drupal/Component/Plugin/Factory/DefaultFactory.php line 97" while reading response header from upstream, client: 192.168.0.252, server: _, request: "GET /admin/help/token HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock:", host: "192.168.0.15"

After restore some further actions are needed.

Was my mistake, problem was solved with
drush cache-rebuild
after restoring backup.

Backup/Restore process should be be better documented. Drush is a must have to handle backups.

Backup

Following cron entry should do a daily backup:

00 03 * * * umask 077 && /usr/bin/env PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin COLUMNS=72 /usr/local/bin/drush --root=/var/www/html --uri=localhost --quiet archive-dump --backup-location=/backup

Restore

Assumptions:

  • Your Drupal 8 is located at /var/www/html/
  • Your backups are located at /backup/

Following process will hopefully restore a fully working Drupal 8 installation with all your data. You may consider to do a drop database drupal; create database drupal before applying restore.

  1. Stop your web server, so nobody can access your site and change data.
  2. mkdir /tmp/restore && cd /tmp/restore
  3. tar xvf /backup/drupal..tar.gz
  4. mysql -p --user= --host= < drupal.sql
  5. cd /var/www && rm -rf html && tar xvf /tmp/restore/html . && cd html
  6. drush cache-rebuild
  7. Double check file/dir attributes (Selinux?)
  8. Start your web server again
