Hi Rogers,

Thanks for your quick reply. We did thought about it and what are the ways of doing a incremental backup. Is there any tools and techniques that we can use to do that?

The content store is arranged by date to make incremental backup easy. So you could do say a full backup once a week then a more frequent incremental backup of [say] files that have been added that week, or since the last successful incremental backup. I'm sure someone out there can give you some scripts.

Sorry if it is exhaustive, would you be able to recommend couple of incremental backup software that can do the job? (would like to what majority of the Alfresco community are using)

Thanks
