Object import failed: Bad Request (400) received - {'playbook': ['Playbook not found for project.']}. by awxkit

Question

I try to backup and restore AWX to another instance. They have the same environment and the same version ansible and AWX. I export data:

awx export > all.json

and import on another instance.

awx import < all.json

And I got this

Object import failed: Bad Request (400) received - {'playbook': ['Playbook not found for project.']}.

I had tried old tool tower-cli Also got this:

Failed to create job_template OperationVue : The Tower server claims it was sent a bad request.

POST http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/v2/job_templates/
Params: None
Data: {"name": "OperationVue", "inventory": 2, "project": 8, "playbook": "developUpdateVersion.yml", "extra_vars": "{\"host\": \"api\"}", "job_tags": "OperationVue", "ask_job_type_on_launch": true, "diff_mode": true, "job_type": "run"}

Response: {"playbook":["Playbook not found for project."]}

PLAY RECAP *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
    ok=0    changed=0    warnings=0    failed=3

Can't import my job_templates. But other items are successful : Credentials, Projects, Inventories, Organizations.

Have anyone like this?

Or Please tell me how to backup and restore AWX. Thank you.

This is likely because your credentials are created with blank passwords and the project providing the playbook failed to sync with SCC. That was my issue anyway...
