Hello MapGuide Open Source Users,
To backup MapGuide Server, do you see any issues if I copy the Repositories
directory? Then if I have problems, just restore that directory?
This is the steps I'm plan on doing:
How to backup the Resources Database
Step 0: confirm the path to the resources
Login to MapGuide Site Administrator
(http://localhost:8008/mapguide/mapadmin/login.php)
on the left hand frame, under Manage Servers, click Configure Services
Under the Resource Service heading, note the path for
Library data file folder
Library repository folder
Session data file folder
Session repository folder
Site repository folder
Installation default is to put all these folders under the
C:/Program
Files/MapGuideOpenSource2.0/Server/Repositories directory
Step 1: Stop the MapGuide Server Service
(Use Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services
->
MapGuide Server v2.0)
Step 2: copy/backup or paste/restore the
C:/Program Files/MapGuideOpenSource2.0/Server/Repositories
directory
Change the directory if different from Step 0
Step 3: Start the MapGuide Server Service
(Use Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services
->
MapGuide Server v2.0)
Notes
This will overwrite any changes to the User accounts as well
This will backup/restore the Session Repository/Storage Container
This will backup/restore the Library Repository/Storage Container
This will backup/restore the Resource Data/Data Files (e.g. shp, sdf, ...)
Thanks for the help,
Jeff Jensen
