Exactly the information I was looking for. Thank you!

There were two red herrings that led me astray: the old screenshot and the exact URL in the restore instructions.

Perhaps, in future, the screen shot could be labelled with a version number and the restore instructions could mention the (now obvious ;) fact that the top part of the URL should be altered based on particular installs.

That said, you may close this thread. Thank you, again.

Hi JayC,

That first screenshot shows old interface that has been redesigned in newer versions. Maybe there is bug with link generation.

if you have activeCollab installed in http://www.example.com/projects/, and
main page of activeCollab points to http://www.example.com/projects/public/index.php, than url for restore should be http://www.example.com/projects/public/restore.php + other variables in restore_instructions.php.
In case that main page of your activeCollab point's to http://www.example.com/projects/index.php than restore script is located in http://www.example.com/projects/restore.php + variables

In the administrator manual, a screenshot shows what the backup module interface should look like, with links to individual backups.

My backup interface shows successful backups, and they're in the right place on the server, but no links.

Also, when following the restore_instructions.php instructions and pasting the URL into a browser, I get a "Page "restore.php" not found" error.

Any recommendations?
