Restore failure
-
How large is the config file you are uploading?
The RRD data is compressed these days, if the config was taken from a recent snapshot it shouldn't be that large…
-
the file is 630KB
-
Hmm, then it definitely shouldn't be running out of RAM.
If you don't mind, can you send a copy of that config file to me by PM or e-mail so I can test it?
-
No prob what's your e-mail

Right I have figured it out the file was corrupt on the drive.
Thanks for you help
-
That would still be useful to see, if you can get the file off the drive. No restore should eat up all the RAM and if it fails in a way we can predict, we can protect against that error and fail gracefully.
-
When I uploaded it to the e-mail I saw it registered it as 50Megs.
-
That large wouldn't be unusual to fail. How old is that backup? The RRD data is compressed now, so it shouldn't be anywhere near that large.
-
Nope it just caught in a loop writing rubbish to the file. This was a machine error not pfsense.
