Backup

This article describes what is needed to back up Open-Xchange

Configuration

the complete configuration is in the directory

/opt/open-xchange/

A backup of the configuration files is recommended once after installation and every change.

User Data

All user Data is in the Mysql Database as well as in the location of the registered filestores. Following command gives an overview of directories that have to be backed up:

/opt/open-xchange/sbin/listfilestore

It is important that the filestore and the database is backed up together at the same time. This is because the meta data for the files is stored in the database. The best way to achieve this is using snapshots or similar mechanism. In case the database and the filestore are not in sync following tool is needed to resolve inconsistencies:

/opt/open-xchange/sbin/checkconsistency
