Hi Prabhakaran, what you need to recover is the database. If you can still get Postgres to run on the old machine, run
pg_dump dspace > dspace.sql This assumes you're running it as the same unix user who runs dspace and that the database is named "dspace". If you can do this, all the rest are just formalities. > · How do we import the data from the previous asset store to the new > (dspace 3.0) asset store? Just copy the assetstore directory to the new system as-is. If your previous DSpace was a previous version, also do all upgrading steps as described in documentation (e.g. 1.6->1.7, 1.7->1.8, 1.8->3.0). > · How to retrieve the metadata information from the previous > installation? Metadata is stored in the database, so everything depends on whether you can retrieve its contents. > · How to make the retrieval work, without re-submission of the > items? By restoring the database dump (dspace.sql) to the new system. Assuming you have a dspace user and database created, just do psql dspace < dspace.sql > · Is there any possibility, where the indexed information is saved > in any of the files and that can be retrieved and used in the new > installation? It's not technically indexed information, index is something else that can be recreated. Everything important is in the assetstore, the database and the configuration files. Plus the statistics are both in the log files and in the Solr statistics core, so you should copy that one over, too ([dspace]/solr/statistics/).
