DSpace stores information in three places:

o  The actual documents submitted to DSpace are stored in the
   "assetstore":  a tree of directories containing files with long
   opaque names.  You need to copy this as-is to the assetstore
   directory in the new DSpace instance.  'tar' or 'cpio' or 'zip'
   should work for this.

o  The metadata and relationships are stored in the database.  If you
   need to move the database to a new host, you'll need to use DBMS
   tools to dump it on the old system and restore it to the new one.
   You'll also need to copy or re-create the DBMS user account that
   DSpace uses.

   If your DBMS is PostgreSQL, I would use 'pg_dump' and the plain
   script format to dump the DSpace database, feed it to 'psql' to
   restore it, and manually re-create the DBMS user account (typically
   named 'dspace', but check your configuration to be sure).

o  Usage statistics are stored in Solr, in the 'statistics' core.  You
   can shut down Solr and copy this directory tree to the new host
   (with Solr shut down there as well).  Again, 'tar' 'cpio' or 'zip'
   should serve.

   The other three Solr cores are caches which can be re-built from
   the primary data in the assetstore and database.  But you could
   just copy these cores as well.

It might be simplest to just back up the whole [DSpace] directory tree
and restore it to the new host, then move the database, and adjust host
names in the new configuration as needed.

There are other ways that don't require making so many huge backup
files.  If you're somewhat familiar with NFS, you could shut down
DSpace and Solr on the old host, export the [DSpace] tree from the old
host via NFS, mount it in a temporary location on the new host, and
'cp' everything into place.  You still need to copy the database
separately.

Yet another approach would be to export the whole repository as AIP
files, but I haven't done it that way so I can't give best advice on
this.  See https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC6x/AIP+Backup+and+Restore
