Repository backup 5.x
OpenKM backup depends on repository configuration. By default, all documents are stored in $JBOSS_HOME/repository. This default folder can be changed using the property repository.home in the file OpenKM.cfg. If you want to make a backup, you should keep a copy of this folder. Is also recommended to backup files located at $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/data/hypersonic because there are several databases which handle important data.
It is recommended to stop JBoss before start the backup to prevent file modifications in the middle of the process because can make the backup useless. |
The backup process should have these steps:
- Stop JBoss
- Backup important folders
- Start JBoss
In Unix / Linux you can backup the repository folder running these commands from $JBOSS_HOME. First stop JBoss:
$ ./bin/shutdown.sh -S
Once JBoss is stopped (you can see the JBoss log to ensure it has stopped) , make the backup:
$ tar czf repository.tgz repository
To check the backup, rename the repository folder:
$ mv repository repository-old
Restore the backup:
$ tar xzf repository.tgz
And start JBoss:
$ ./bin/run.sh
See also Backup scripts.
In Windows could be something like this:
- Stop JBoss
c:\jboss\bin\shutdown.bat -S
- Make backup
xcopy c:\jboss-4.2.3.GA\*.* e:\Backup\ /s/e
- Start JBoss again
c:\jboss-4.2.3.GA\bin\run.bat -b 0.0.0.0
The complete script may be like this one:
c:\jboss\bin\shutdown.bat -S
xcopy c:\jboss-4.2.3.GA\*.* e:\Backup\ /s/e
c:\jboss-4.2.3.GA\bin\run.bat -b 0.0.0.0
There's a little problem in default shutdown.bat and run.bat script because makes a pause at ends, you might delete the final line in both scripts
if "%NOPAUSE%" == "" pause
There is an alternative method for backups: you can export the whole repository from OpenKM administration. The folder structure will be re-created in the local filesystem, and all document on them but you will lose the document history and other metadata like Property Groups.
Ensure you have enough free disk space before perform this operation. |
