Back up CollabNet TeamForge data

Save a copy of your TeamForge site's data to a location where you can quickly retrieve it to your TeamForge 6.1.1 site.

1. Stop the TeamForge application server and the Apache server, if they are running.
   • /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
   • /etc/init.d/collabnet stop
2. Back up your site data.
   1. Make a dump file of your site database. (This may be the same as your TeamForge application server or a separate box.)

      You have to do a PostgreSQL dump because we are upgrading the PostgreSQL application as part of this upgrade.

      Note: These commands are for a PostgreSQL database, which is the default. If your site uses an Oracle database, follow the Oracle backup procedure instead.
      • su - postgres
      • /usr/bin/pg_dumpall > /var/lib/pgsql/backups/teamforge_data_backup.dmp
      • exit
      • mkdir /tmp/backup_dir
      • cp /var/lib/pgsql/backups/teamforge_data_backup.dmp /tmp/backup_dir/
      Note: If your reporting database is running on a separate port, back up your reporting database too:

      • /usr/bin/pg_dumpall -p <reports_database_port> > /var/lib/pgsql/backups/teamforge_reporting_data_backup.dmp
   2. Make an archive file with the following data directories:

      Directory	Contents
      /opt/collabnet/teamforge/var	User-created data, such as artifact attachments
      /svnroot	Subversion source code repositories
      /sf-svnroot	Subversion repository for branding data
      /cvsroot	CVS source code repositories (not present on all sites)

      • cp -Rpf /svnroot /sf-svnroot /cvsroot /opt/collabnet/teamforge/var /tmp/backup_dir
   3. Back up your SSH keys, if any.
   4. Back up your SSL certificates and keys, if any.
