The only way to completely backup your repository is take a backup of the database and alf_data directories.

Post v1.2, we'll provide a full backup and restore via .acp files.

David,

When will the 'full backup and restore via .acp files' be available ? Any timeframe ?
Will it be available in the open-source version ?
Does 'a full backup and restore via .acp files' mean that separate beckups for data-files & the database will not be necessary ?

Thanks in advance - Mike.

Available in v1.3 (open source). It will provide an alternative to database/alf_data backup, but will not provide incremental support etc.

David, Thanks for your response. Just to re-confirm:

The new backup to be available in 1.3 will do away with having to keep separate beckups for data-files & the database, right ?

Thanks in advance - Sanjay
