Backup of publishing server

PubServer​

Full backup of publishing server stack (devstack) is enough. There is no data stored outside of devstack root folder. If backup size is of importance you can exclude the following folders in this order:

Excude Options (all these files can be restored from devstack installation package)

  • \devstack\eclipse\ (ca. 718 MB) (but see note below)
  • \devstack\java\ (ca. 300 MB)
  • \devstack\database\MySQL\bin\ (ca. 88 MB)
  • \devstack\glassfish\glassfish3\glassfish\modules\ (ca. 68 MB)
  • \devstack\tools\ (ca. 30 MB)
  • \devstack\database\MySQL\lib\ (ca. 26 MB)

These folders are a MUST in backup. (none of these files can be restored from devstack installation package)

  • \devstack\database\Jackrabbit\ (configuration repository datastore)
  • \devstack\database\MySQL\data\ (Kernel database - if not on remote database server)
  • \devstack\etc (core server configuration)

Note: ison/Eclipse backup​

Eclipse plugins like ison are stored within \devstack\eclipse\. If you are excluding \devstack\eclipse from backup you should be aware that you will loose the last state of installed Eclipse plugins. This means that you might have to update ison from the local publishing server. You also might have to update/reinstall if you added other Ecplise plugins.
