Hello all, I’m trying to copy a fog image from Fog server A to Fog server B. I’ve done this before by copying the image files from A to B using FTP and using the import/export function in the Fog web GUI. I have the image files from server A via FTP, I don’t have the image listed in image_export.csv from server A because at some point this image was deleted from the GUI on server A.

I need to get this image somehow imported to the new Fog server. I’m also curious about what all the different columns mean in image_export.csv. I can clearly see things like image name, description, date, username, etc., but there are several more fields with either single digit values or several strings separated by colons. I was thinking about taking some time to reverse engineer it, but I was hoping someone out there would already know what all those columns mean.

Thanks,
Ben

@benc If its only one image, it probably easier to recreate the metadata by hand in the new fog server. As long as you remember the path part of the image definition is case sensitive you probably can make an educated guess at the rest of the settings You will see the image size being zero bytes after you manually create the image definition but that is OK since that value is only created on an upload and is only used for display purposes.
