The features of OpenKM under administration says you can export the repository to the filesystem. How do you do that?

To exporting all repository it\'s so easy. Go to administration / Utils
There take a look at Export
Select from where you want to export \"Repository path\" for example for all repository /okm:root
Select where to exporting on local server file system \"for example /home/user/backup or c:\\backup under windows\"
And execute the \"export\" button

Hi,

I\'d have a question too. Is it possible to track the changed/added files from an exact point of time and export only those documents?

We would need this feature for the following purpose: to export the latest version of files into a backup location on daily basis, but make this export process as short and efficient as possible (not making full exports). It would be useful to restore only one file if needed (on accidental deletion, from the trash too).

I guess that there isn\'t a way to the export this way, because this feature is really specific.

Could you maybe give me some idea, how to start to develop some tool for this need?

Thanks in advance.

You could make a query search of all documents check-in (updated ) by date (hour/minute/seconds) and copying this documents to some path.

A good way to doing it, could be using webservices API ( minimal external application ).
First action it\'ll be making query, and second copying files to path ( creating folders when necessary ).

If you want more perfect, you could control deleted files, folders ( but probably it could not be as so interesting, depending ).

If you\'re interesting on doing it - enhancement - tell us and well help to you, because we considering it could be a good little external utility for OpenKM community ( If you\'re intereted send mail by contact form ).
