Backing Up Content Fusion Data
It is recommended for the server administrator to set up periodic backups for the Oxygen Content Fusion Enterprise Server.
Creating a Backup
A Content Fusion backup contains a PostgreSQL database dump along with configuration, project, and task files.
sudo bash /fusion/admin/create-fusion-backup.sh MY_BACKUP_FILE
MY_BACKUP_FILE may either be a file name or file path.
This will create a backup archive (MY_BACKUP_FILE)
in the current directory. If the backup file already exists, you will be prompted to choose
whether or not to overwrite it. If you run the create-fusion-backup.sh
command without specifying the backup file, it will create a timestamped file (e.g.
fusion-backup-20240325125325.tar.gz
) in the current directory).
Storing a Backup
The server administrator should create backups and download them to a safe backup storage location periodically. One method of doing this is to create a cron job that periodically connects to the Content Fusion machine to create a backup and download it using rsync.
Restoring a Backup
sudo bash /fusion/admin/restore-fusion-backup.sh /path/to/fusion-backup.tar.gz
The script takes one argument, the path to the backup file to restore from.
