Handshake Failed on restore

Any idea guys? this is a restore between two unraid servers…

ssh: handshake failed: The host key for '192.168.1.100:22' has changed

Well, just like it says. The host key of the node at that ip or hostname has changed. it now does not match the one recorded in known hosts file. For all ssh knows its a rogue impersonator.

You can workaround it once – add new host id to the ~/.ssh/known_hosts; the easiest would be to delete the entry there and attempt ssh to that host manually; ssh will ask whether you trust that host and will add its key to the list.

Or you can switch to using ssh certificates instead and entirely avoid this issue – especially if your host key is expected to be changing.

thanks for the reply. that sounds great but I have no idea how to do that lol. I have about 50 revisions of the files, was thinking about nuking the whole thing and starting over. it’s about 300gb.
