Alfresco Back up and Restore

[hari]

Hi All,

I was trying to do a cold backup of Alfresco 4.2.f and have got my db backed up and have took my alf_data directory.
When I have replaced the existing alf_data in a different Alfresco instance on a different machine and restored the database into a different server, I was able to login but I did not find any of my files in it and also the sites were missing.

Can some one please help me out with this ?

Thanks,
Hari.

It sounds like the database restore was not successful.   Double check your database connection properties and your database.

Thanks for your reply Rogers. I found out that the issue was with our backup procedure. Its all fine now.

Hi, 

Its as simple as take the db backup and alf_data backup and then restore them. I had a document written by one of my team member when we handed this activity over to a different team. Unfortunately, I do not see an option to upload that file. If your issue is not resolved yet, comment your email address and I will send that document across to you. 

Regards,

Hari.
