Thanks for the precisions Sameer. On the subject of Backup. I am using MySQL as a persistenceManager. Am I wrong in thinking that in using a RDBMS as persistence manager you simply need to restore your DB backup in case of problem (plus naturally any content in the templates directory and in the docroot directory)?
I have been doing some test (deleted the repository directory and emptied the bootsrap directory, restoring the MySQL DB from a backup) and then restarting tomcat and it works fine, i.e. all of the repository content was available. Any thoughts?
