Hi, I am interested in fully replicating a DSpace installation to a remote server. The replication has to happen automatically and in a regular basis (i.e. daily). I need to replicate everything (users, authorizations, communities, collections.. etc.). The remote DSpace will be used only for reading data.
As far as I understand, harvesting works on collection level and doesn't transfer the authorizations and users. So this doesn't seem as a viable option. Another other option is maybe making an AIP backup and restoring it to the remote server. This has been mentioned in the past to a similar thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/dspace-community/replication|sort:date/dspace-community/farxKx93ERQ/b9epWRlzBgAJ However, I find this option not practical because, as far as I understand, exporting an AIP backup requires similar space to the original's DSpace asset store and database. In my particular case, I estimate having so much available space may be an issue. Also, this means that I should send every time all the exported data to the remote server and this seems like a great waste of bandwidth. Moreover, in this particular case the asset store is about 750GB and sending so much data to the remote machine will take ages. I guess, what I need is making an AIP backup that should contain only the changes since the last time I backed up the data (something like incremental backup). Is this somehow possible? The other approach that I am considering is exporting a dump of the local's machine database, rsyncing the asset store to the remote server and importing the updated database to the remote's machine database. Do you think that this approach could work? Any suggestion or idea is more than welcome!
