I am trying to recovery metabase from h2 metabase file.
But the dashboard and questions are not displaying.
Also followed this page but it still not working.
Can someone give me an advise ?
Here are metabase’s info.
Metabase version: 0.32.8
java -jar -DMB_DB_FILE=/home/ec2-user/backup_db/metabase.db /opt/metabase/metabase.jar
※ metabase.db.mv.db is a file which i copy from another running metabase service.
Hi @huynhit92
Are you running the command as the user ec2-user ? Since it’s located in the home directory of that user.
So the actual file has this path /home/ec2-user/backup_db/metabase.db.mv.db ?
What do you see in the log, when starting Metabase? It should tell you if it might have issues with permissions or something like that.
Also, you should always use the documentation for the version you’re using:
https://metabase.com/docs/v0.32.8/operations-guide/start.html#backing-up-metabase-application-data
Hi @flamber
Yeah, I am running as the user ec2-user.
Here is the log file.

Do you normally run it with environment variables? Maybe one of those is creating a conflict.
Is the actual full file path /home/ec2-user/backup_db/metabase.db.mv.db ?
java -DMB_DB_TYPE=h2 -DMB_DB_FILE=/home/ec2-user/backup_db/metabase.db -jar /opt/metabase/metabase.jar
@huynhit92
That screen is the startup screen - not the setup.
Okay, I don’t know what’s happening with your installation. Then just use the environment variables:
export MB_DB_TYPE=h2
export MB_DB_FILE=/home/ec2-user/backup_db/metabase.db
java -jar /opt/metabase/metabase.jar
@huynhit92
Maybe, but there should be some errors if the file is corrupted. But it’s not recommended to use H2 in production, you should migrate to different database.
Run this:
ls -l /home/ec2-user/backup_db/metabase.db.mv.db
