Question about backups

[freak182 <em...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

Pardon me if I ask stupid question: My question is if i put evrything in DB,
DbFilesystem, DataStore and etc. I have only to backup the DB (dump) and
that's it, I have all the repository in sql dump? please advise.

Thanks a lot.
Cheers.

If you don't back up the repository area on the local disk the search  
index will have to be rebuilt from scratch when you restore. The could  
take a long time if your repo is big.
Also, if you are using a cluster then all events since the years dot  
for the repo are replayed if there is no local state.


We have always taken a snapshot of the local repsitory so that  
restores don't have to do the extra work although you have to take  
care to get a consistent state if backing up a hot server.
