Alfresco stores the information in three different places:

* Database (postgres)

* Content Stores (alf_data/contentstore and alf_data/contentstore.deleted)

* Indexes (alf_data/solr4)

You can perform a backup of the folders and a dump of the database.

When restoring, just replace the folders with the backup and perform an import of the database.

I have a question regarding the above topic:

How do you copy the indexes and contentstore and backup the dbase. I am reading that these have to be kept together. Can you please provide detail instructions. I am new to postgresql so I do not know how to access the dbase files to back them up

What is missing from the link @cesarista provided?

docker / ASS deployments have some pitfaults but I assume you're referring to 5.x doployment, right?

Please make yourself familiar how to create a postgres backup and don't led people do your job. This forum is happy to help you but not with "detail instructions".
