If you need to manually trigger a backup of the docbase, you can
launch the backup from the TEXTML Server interface.
To trigger a backup:
On the computer where the TEXTML Server is installed, create a
directory for the backups.
Open the TEXTML Server Console Java and connect to the
server.
Right-click the docbase and select Backup.
The Start backup
window opens:
Figure: Backing up a docbase
Important note:
BEWARE: If the destination folder is not empty,
TEXTML Server deletes the contents of the folder before starting the
backup.
In the Directory Path
box, type the full path to the folder you created for the docbase backups.
For example (replace [version] by the release version)
:
/docbase_backups/[version]/docbaseA
Note: The
TEXTML Server service or daemon *must* have write
privileges to the top-level folder storing the backups; for example, the
docbase_backups directory.
Click OK.
The backup is initiated. To verify, look in the
Properties view under General > Status. When the backup is initiated, the value for Status changes from Ready to Ready Backing-up.
Figure: Example of Properties view:
Wait while the backup occurs. Depending on the size of the
docbase and your server activity, this could take considerable time.
Note: While the backup is occurring, a temporary file is created
(backuperror.tmp) under the backup folder.
If no errors occur during backup, this file is deleted and a new file called
backup.info is created when the backup is
complete.
To check if the backup is complete, refresh the Properties view by clicking a different docbase and
then click back again.
When complete, the Status changes to Ready.
To confirm that the backup was successful,
look in your target directory:
If the backup.info file is
present, then the backup was successful.
It the backup is completed but the backuperror.tmp is present, then an error occurred and the backup is
corrupted.
If an error occurs, or to get more
information about the backup operation, look at the logs. They are available in the log
directory.
