Hello, The simplest way is just to backup the complete repository directory. We use for the JeCARS project our own (hot) backup tool, it can also backup standard Jackrabbit repositories. A "hot" solution would be to connect to Jackrabbit using RMI. We are working on the documentation and useability.... but the sourcecode is available; http://jecars.sourceforge.net Screenshot of the tool; http://jecars.wiki.sourceforge.net/How+to+use+the+JeCARS+backup+facility Greetings, Jacco -- ------------------------------------- Jacco van Weert -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] JCR Controller -- http://www.xs4all.nl/~weertj/jcr
