My personal recommendation is to back up the entire repository. The recovery time of putting the managed data back in the correct locations by ResourceID is not going to be trivial.
If you're looking to reduce backup size, you may want to look into using unmanaged data sets where possible. This allows you to point to the data outside of the MapGuide repository. Basically, you just set up an alias in your serverconfig.ini file (or through the MapGuide admin) and refer to data sets from that location when setting up new data sources. Jason -----Original Message----- From: JeffJensen Subject: RE: [mapguide-users] Move Default Repository Location? What is your opinion of not backing up the datafiles (C:/Program Files/MapGuideOpenSource2.0/Server/Repositories/Library/DataFiles/)? Reason I ask, is this directory is rather large and the data I use is just a copy from the data created in other applications (namely Civil3D and ArcMap). I'm thinking as long as I put the shapefiles back in the correct directory, I won't have any issues with broken links. _______________________________________________ mapguide-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapguide-users
