I've been using metabase since about 10 months now. I'm it's using H2 database. For some reason the instance was not opening on the browser so I restarted the metabase java process. But it was missing some questions so I ran the below command to feed it the h2 database file but it's starting as a new installation.
Here is the command I'm using to run Metabase :
MB_DB_FILE=/metabase_temp_files/metabase.db.mv.db_2017-03-15T12:19:00UTC java -jar metabase.jar
Here is the log :
