copy paste alf_data

I don't really understand how to do the backup and restore thing. I've had trouble with the server and re-installed Alfresco for almost 4 times now and have to recreate users and site every single time. And to start Share takes a very very long time until I always receive a connection time out error

Only backing up and restore alf_data is not enough ,you should also backup and restore database,lucene(solr) index,and your extension classpath

Not entirely sure of what you want to achieve but if you have done a standard install using an installer, everything should be under /var/alfresco. so to backup:-

Stop alfresco (alfresco.sh stop)
back up all of /var/alfresco with your preferred utility.
Start alfresco (alfresco.sh start).

Then if you need to fall back just stop alfresco, restore then start alfresco.

Hi e-no91,

You should take backup
#1) alf_data folder
#2) database script (.sql)
#3) your extension environment (your customizations)
