i am using the HSQL (embedded db) with 3 GB of RAM P4 3 Ghz CPU Windows 2003 server

any one please tell me steps to archive the last year backup

currently i am copying the ALF_DATA complete folder copy

Hi,

What version are you using?

You can

Make sure that your ContentCleaner is working and clean out the contentstore.deleted directory
Make multiple content stores and keep most of the content on a slower storage mechanism
Write an archive-aware ContentStore implementation

Hi,

The contentstore directory structure is ordered by date.  Alfresco can delete files but will never overwrite files i.e. every content update actually creates a new file and the old one is left to be cleaned up later: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Content_Store_Configuration

So, you can concentrate your backup to a more specific directory, safe in the knowledge that you have backups of dates prior to that, and that Alfresco will not write new files into the earlier-dated directories.
