Dear community,

I have a database backup from a DHIS2 instance that was on version 2.38.9. I need the exact WAR file (dhis2-stable-2.38.9.war) to restore the instance. The official download site only has 2.38.7 and later. Does anyone have an archive of this version or know where I can download it?

Thank you.

Hi @tuyijmv

Welcome to the DHIS2 Community of Practice! You can find all the WAR releases in [releases.dhis2.org](http://releases.dhis2.org) ; however, I don’t think there’s ever been a 2.38.9? If there was it would have been in the Github repository: [dhis2-releases/releases/2.38 at master · dhis2/dhis2-releases · GitHub](https://github.com/dhis2/dhis2-releases/tree/master/releases/2.38)

Would you please check the exact version number? Do you mean 2.37.9.1?
