Hello Slide users !
We are about to deploy Slide on a large scale in some French
universities, but we need to think about an easy to use backup/restore
system.
The lack of a such system is a very big limitation for us (And for those
who want to use Slide in a production environment)...
The backend of our Slide is on a saved filesystem with snapshot
functionalities (NAS/SAN).
We were thinking about 2 restore methods depending on the situation :
1. we need to restore some files/directories without complex ACL's(a
user homedir for example):
We can just retrieve these files/directories in the "content" branch on
the backend, remove the _1.0 extensions (with a perl script), and put
the retrieved files/directories on Slide with a DAV client. This work
fine, I have tested...
2. we need to restore a full tree with complex ACL's(shared spaces for
example):
We can stop the server, restore the correct "content" and "metadata"
branches on the backend, eventually modify the xml descriptor file of
the "higher" parent (if directories have been created/removed...),
restart the server.
I have also tested this solution that works but we need to restart the
server...
I was wondering if somebody had thought about a better solution for a
production environment.
Regards,
Thomas
