What's the best way to take Continuum backup?

[Masa <mk...@gmail.com>]

I saw the following web page
http://continuum.apache.org/docs/1.1/developer_guides/xmlrpc.html#Backup.

But not so clear about how to take the backup.

Could anyone please shed more lights on this? What's the best way to take
Continuum backup?

I'm not familiar with backing up through the XML RPC interface (the
page you linked to.)

There is a data management tool that dumps the database to XML, which
is described on the 'upgrade' page:
http://continuum.apache.org/docs/1.1/installation/upgrade.html

If you're using embedded Derby, shut down Continuum and back up the
two database directories as well as the build results.  You may also
want to back up the working copies, though Continuum will check those
out again if you need to restore.

Another option is to switch from embedded Derby to MySQL (or
PostgreSQL) and use its tools to back up the user and build databases.
