Hi Everyone,

How can I migrate content from one server to the other?

I've got Afresco running o the cloud, so I want to migrate content from the cloud into the local server.

Thanks in advance.

It depends upon what you mean by "migrate".

If just moving from one server to another you may just need to use the normal steps for backup and restore.   Or if you have some sort of "federated" requirement then you may like to use the transfer service.

My requirement is the backup and restore. But I won't mind if you can give me documentation or links for both transfer service and backup and restore.

I'm still new in Alfresco.

I think it should work. Not sure though. I tried whats given in wiki on Windows XP and it worked.

Hi Liso,

That should just be a dump of the database

mysqldump <databasename> -u <username> -p > databasename.sql

The above will output a databasename.sql file which is a dump of the mysql database. Now you can ftp/copy at another location.

To load I have to use this script: mysql <databasename> -u <username> -p > databasename.sql  ???

to backup file store do I have to copy alf_data from /opt/alfresco to C:\Alfresco ????

Use this –> mysql -u [user name] -p[password] [db_to_restore] < [backupfile.sql] to restore the database.
And yes, copy the content of alf_data to restore file store.
