Alfresco Community Edition v5.1.e Backup and Restore

[tovino77]

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out how to best backup alfresco CE 5.1. I've done a very basic install using the in box postgresql database, and have a couple sites.

Essentially I need to figure out how to back this up, and restore it to a new server if the need comes up

I've been following this:

Just downloaded and installed Alfresco Community on Windows Server 2012 but can't access it from any other client on the network. During setup I bound it to the local IP and not localhost. Should I have done this differently or is the access IP locked by default? If locked where do I unlock it.

I've searched the docs and the internet honest.

But this doesn't seem 100% accurate to my version

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Alfresco stores the information in three different places:

* Database (postgres)

* Content Stores (alf_data/contentstore and alf_data/contentstore.deleted)

* Indexes (alf_data/solr4)

You can perform a backup of the folders and a dump of the database.

When restoring, just replace the folders with the backup and perform an import of the database.

I have a question regarding the above topic:

• How do you copy the indexes and contentstore and backup the dbase.  I am reading that these have to be kept together.  Can you please provide detail instructions.  I am new to postgresql so I do not know how to access the dbase files to back them up

What is missing from the link @cesarista provided?

docker / ASS deployments have some pitfaults but I assume you're referring to 5.x doployment, right?

Please make yourself familiar how to create a postgres backup and don't led people do your job. This forum is happy to help you but not with "detail instructions".
