Hi,

I'm trying to find out if there's a way or what option do I have if I want to archive a Site into a file server while preserving the directory structure so that users can access the archived sites like a simple file server. I know I can do it manually but is there a way like I can do it with a script to automate it. What are the consideration when doing this (if possible).

Appreciate all the help.

Thanks and best regards,
Michael Angelo

Hi,

there is an addons that can be used to export a folder preserving the folder structure and the metadata (metadata are saved in a separate xml).

https://addons.alfresco.com/addons/bulk-filesystem-export-tool

I have never used it to export a site, but it should be ok.

Just copy the content out via a filesystem protocol like ftp.   You won't have any metadata or security,  if you need that then reconsider.
