I cannot seem to get a 15 GB Virtualmin backup that is already on the server itself restored, as my browser (Firefox) keeps showing the error "The connection was reset" after a few minutes when I start the restore process and tell Virtualmin to "Show me what will be restored".
I have already tried raising the network.http.keep-alive.timeout setting in Firefox to no avail. How can I get this large backup restored successfully?

Closed (fixed)

Howdy -- one option would be to use the command line tools to restore it, which avoids using your browser.
If you type "virtualmin restore-domain" on the command line, you'll see a list of options you can use.
You can use something like "virtualmin restore-domain --source /path/to/backup.tar.gz". However, there's a number of other options you can tweak too if you like.

Thank you! That seemed to work, however for some reason it did not see my main shared IP as a legitimate shared IP address. Even though I was literally copying and pasting the IP from Virtualmin's screen, it kept saying the IP address was not a shared IP. X's of course used to mask the IP here:
virtualmin restore-domain --domain archives.domain.com --reuid --all-features --all-virtualmin --shared-ip 67.201.XXX.XXX--source /root/archivesdomain.com.tar.gz
67.201.XXX.XXX is not in the shared IP addresses list
It clearly is, as under Addresses and Network > Shared IP Addresses:
Default shared address 67.201.XXX.XXX
I ended up using this line to restore, which seemed to work correctly:
virtualmin restore-domain --domain archives.domain.com --reuid --all-features --all-virtualmin --source /root/archives.domain.com.tar.gz
Checking for missing features .. .. all features in backup are supported
Starting restore..

You only need to use the --shared-ip flag if you want to select a non-default shared address. Otherwise, the one shown as "Default shared address" will be used.

Ah, that makes sense!
Well, everything seemed to be restored correctly. Yay for command line! =)
