Hello, We use the JeCARS backup tool for export and import. Within JeCARS itself, it can make a "hot" backup by simply performing a GET operation on the webserver.
Without the binary data it is also possible to do a remote backup and restore. With JeCARS there is also a JeCARS client helper library. http://jecars.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/jecars/jecars_client/src/org/jecars/client/JC_Nodeable.java?revision=1.18&view=markup It has exportNode( deep ) and importNode( stream ) methods which delivers the backup as stream. For backup without JeCARS the backup tool cannot also export and import existing Jackrabbit repository versions (also v1.5). It will create a big file (non-XML) for node/properties and every binary content is stored in a seperate file. The resulting directory can be used for import. The import will always try to complete even when properties are removed. (simple versioning nodes are also supported).
