[mapguide-users] Move Default Repository Location?

[JeffJensen]

Hello MapGuide Open Source Users,

To backup MapGuide Server, do you see any issues if I copy the Repositories
directory? Then if I have problems, just restore that directory?

This is the steps I'm plan on doing:

How to backup the Resources Database

	
Step 0: confirm the path to the resources
	

		
Login to MapGuide Site Administrator 
			(http://localhost:8008/mapguide/mapadmin/login.php)
		
on the left hand frame, under Manage Servers, click Configure Services
		
Under the Resource Service heading, note the path for 
		

			
Library data file folder
			
Library repository folder
			
Session data file folder
			
Session repository folder
			
Site repository folder
		

		
Installation default is to put all these folders under the 
			C:/Program Files/MapGuideOpenSource2.0/Server/Repositories directory
	

	
Step 1: Stop the MapGuide Server Service
		(Use Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services ->
MapGuide Server v2.0)
	
Step 2: copy/backup or paste/restore the 
		C:/Program Files/MapGuideOpenSource2.0/Server/Repositories directory
  

  	
Change the directory if different from Step 0
  

	
Step 3: Start the MapGuide Server Service
		(Use Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services ->
MapGuide Server v2.0)
	
Notes
	

		
This will overwrite any changes to the User accounts as well
		
This will backup/restore the Session Repository/Storage Container
		
This will backup/restore the Library Repository/Storage Container
		
This will backup/restore the Resource Data/Data Files (e.g. shp, sdf, ...)
	



Thanks for the help,

Jeff Jensen
