10.15 Making backups

10.15.1 Introduction

For backing up Daisy there is an application which will help you create and restore backups. You can find it in

<DAISY_HOME>/bin/daisy-backup-tool

This tool in its current form can backup :

• daisy-repository
• repository database
• blobstore
• indexstore
• configuration
• activemq database (ActiveMQ is the JMS system)
• daisy-wiki
• cocoon.xconf
• web.xml
• skins
• sites
• you name it (this will be elaborated on further in this document)

Your backup will contain database dumps of the configured databases and zip files containing the content of directories or files.
