Hello,

Is it possible to backup all of my configurations in OpenKM?

For example like the user accounts and automations.

Thank you in advance.

What I am going to do is backup from HSQL and transfer them to a MySQL.

I suggest export entire repository ( Administration > export ) and then import into a fresh OpenKM installation.

To backup a HSQLDB the easies is stop OpenKM and zip the entire tomcat folder ( the database is into, and you are doing the database backup at the same time you are adding regular files into zip ). You can also move the zip backup to another computer, uncompress ( I suggest in same folder location ) and get running the backup from there.

Hello,

I zipped the entire tomcat folder from the old installation that uses HSQL and moved it (more likely replaced the tomcat folder) into a newly installed OpenKM that is configured to use a MySQL database. It seems like that it worked.

The question now is that does the newly installed OpenKM still uses the configured SQL database? Or does it use the default HSQL?

I did create a new repository based on MySQL, seems like it worked. Then I moved and merged the tomcat folder from the old installation that uses HSQL with the new installation. Did I do it right?

No, you must not merge older tomcat with newer. You must export all the repository ( Administration > Export ) and then in the new user the Administration -> Import
