# Workaround to retrieve the backups
As said on the [backup](/backup), there is a limitation to manage backups files with `admin` user
## What is the problem
Why you cannot access to `/home/yunohost.backup/archives/` folder
```bash
root@example:~# tree /home/yunohost.backup/
/home/yunohost.backup/
├── archives ## <== Only `root` can access
│   ├── 20180611-192934.info.json
│   ├── 20180611-192934.tar.gz
│   ├── 20180915-212428.info.json
│   ├── 20180915-212428.tar.gz
│   ├── wallabag2-pre-upgrade1.info.json
│   └── wallabag2-pre-upgrade1.tar.gz
└── tmp ## <== `admin` can write here
├── 20180915-212428.info.json
└── 20180915-212428.tar.gz
2 directories, 8 files
root@example:~#
```
Until it is sorted, you have to work with `/home/yunohost.backup/tmp` and then copy/move to `home/yunohost.backup/archives` so Yunohost backup system can do it's work.
## Download backups
You will need to connect by `SSH` to copy the backups to a location that can be acceded by the `admin` user
### SSH connection
1. Connect by following [SSH instructions](/ssh#after-installing-yunohost)
```bash
ssh admin@192.168.1.68
admin@192.168.1.68's password:
The programs included with the Debian GNU/Linux system are free software;
the exact distribution terms for each program are described in the

permitted by applicable law.
Last login: Sun Jan 6 19:30:47 2019 from 192.168.1.51
```
2. Verify if `admin` can access backups
```bash
admin@example:~$ ls -l /home/yunohost.backup/archives/
ls: cannot open directory /home/yunohost.backup/archives/: Permission denied
```
3. Run the same command again with `sudo` to list backups
```bash
admin@example:~$ sudo ls -l /home/yunohost.backup/archives/
total 1168888
-rw------- 1 admin 1007 3427 Jun 17 2018 20180611-192934.info.json
-rw------- 1 admin 1007 592976408 Jun 17 2018 20180611-192934.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1436 Sep 15 21:25 20180915-212428.info.json
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 164731292 Sep 15 21:25 20180915-212428.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 331 Dec 31 12:10 dokuwiki--2-pre-upgrade1.info.json
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23800 Dec 31 12:10 dokuwiki--2-pre-upgrade1.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 348 Dec 31 12:10 dokuwiki--3-pre-upgrade2.info.json
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3710604 Dec 31 12:10 dokuwiki--3-pre-upgrade2.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 344 Dec 31 12:08 dokuwiki-pre-upgrade2.info.json
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 163209554 Dec 31 12:08 dokuwiki-pre-upgrade2.tar.gz
admin@example:~$
```
The most recent backup in this example is from `20180915-212428`. It is going to be copied to the right location
4. Login as superuser `root`
```bash
admin@example:~$ sudo -i
```
5. Copy the previous backups files to `/home/yunohost.backup/tmp`
```bash
root@example:~# cd /home/yunohost.backup
root@example:~# sudo cp -a archives/<archivename>* tmp
```
6. Verify that you have two files `<archivename>`.info.json and `<archivename>`.tar.gz in `/home/yunohost.backup/tmp`
```bash
root@example:~# ls /home/yunohost.backup/tmp
20180915-212428.info.json 20180915-212428.tar.gz
```
7. Quit SSH connection
```bash
root@example:~# exit
admin@example:~$ exit
```
## Upload backups
If you want to restore backup, the steps are quite similar to above.
1. Connect by following [SSH instructions](/ssh#after-installing-yunohost)
2. Login as superuser `root`
```bash
admin@example:~$ sudo -i
```
3. Move your backup `<archivename>` to `/home/yunohost.backup/archives`
```bash
root@example:~# cd /home/yunohost.backup
root@example:~# mv tmp/`<archivename>*` archives/
```
Yunohost backup mechanism can work do its work.
4. Verify that you have two files `<archivename>`.info.json and `<archivename>`.tar.gz in `/home/yunohost.backup/archives`
```bash
root@example:~# ls /home/yunohost.backup/archives
20180915-212428.info.json 20180915-212428.tar.gz
```
5. Quit SSH connection
```bash
root@example:~# exit
admin@example:~$ exit
```
## Back to work
Now that the files are in the correct folders, you can continue your work with the [backups](backup).
