Cloning to the Target Server Describe the issue: Step 2 is missing a critical and required file: metadata.yml Without this file, satellite-clone will default to version 6.2 and cause the clone to fail and the customer will be forced to start over. We should update the docs to indicate the user should just copy all the backup set files instead of maintaining a list of files they need to copy. Suggestions for improvement: Please update this section from: """ Place the backup files in the /backup folder. You can either mount the shared storage or copy the following files: candlepin.dump, config_files.tar.gz, foreman.dump, and the mongo_dump folder. """ to: """ Place the backup files from your source Satellite in the /backup folder on the target server. You can either mount the shared storage or copy the backed up files to the target server's /backup/ folder. """ Additional information:
