Hi,

I have set up OpenKM on Ubuntu and I would like to know how to back up my data that I am putting into the system.

I cannot find where in the repositories the files are actually stored? I want to be able to access the files without opening OpenKM from a terminal. Is this possible?

Regards,

Ben

Good backup policy could be stoping system on sundays night ( jboss server ) and backup all folder. You data is stored under repository folder. If you copy al jboss folder ( into there\'s repository one ) you\'ll backup entire app ( I think 100MB of jboss are not a problem for backup size).

Ok,

So you cannot access files directly from the command line?

In a disaster recovery situation, you need to recover the entire server and OpenKM in order recover a single file from your repository?

Could you please confirm this.

regards,

Ben

Yes,

On a disaster you need to recover all repository, disaster in OpenKM is a hard disk corruption. In this case you must recover entire repository. Us we use Rsync to making backups.

Since now we\'ve not found with need to recover a single file for OpenKM problem. Really deleting file needs twice user deleting action, deleting, and trash deleting finally. All this operations are saved on OpenKM log for tracin purpose.
