Hello @thoro,
What version are you using?
You should copy the restored data to the InfluxDB data directory on the new machine. Typically, this directory is located at /var/lib/influxdb. Here’s how you can do it:

Copy the data:

sudo cp -r /path/to/your/restored/data/* /var/lib/influxdb/

Change the ownership of the copied files:

sudo chown -R influxdb:influxdb /var/lib/influxdb

You can then verify data integrity with the CLI or UI. Something like SHOW DATABASES (depending on what version you are using :slight_smile: )
