Fixed example

[edit]

Export images:

php maintenance/dumpUploads.php | sed -E 's#.*local-public/(.*)#images/\1#' | xargs tar cf backup_files.tar

Import images:

mkdir tmp
tar xf backup_files.tar -C tmp
cd tmp
find -type f -exec cp {} . \;
php ../maintenance/importImages.php ./

Doesn't work either, the export command throws the same error here about single quotes being special for xargs unless -0 is used.--Tactica (talk) 20:30, 15 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
