05 Data management

Backup

Make regular backup of the following.

1. Sync database (logical or physical).
2. Directory configured in the datadir configuration key in the conf file.

Migration

Sync database

If migrating to a new sync database product create the database/schema as per sql/<database_product>/ddl.sql in the new database and import all data from old database into the new database.

System

When moving the application from one system to another install the application as usual in the new system. Copy the conf file and cachedir (if using 'local_fs' as the caching backend) from the old system to the new system and restore data from your regular backup on to the new system.
