Back up CollabNet TeamForge data

Save a copy of your TeamForge site's data to a location from where you can quickly retrieve it to your TeamForge 16.10 site.

Important: The following instructions, though applicable in general to any PostgreSQL version, assume that you run a TeamForge version that runs on PostgreSQL 9.2, which you want to back up. Replace 9.2 with the PostgreSQL version you run, if required.

If you are upgrading by installing TeamForge 16.10 on new hardware, then you'll need the backed-up site data to complete the upgrade.
If you are upgrading your site on the same hardware, then you won't need to back up but you should create a backup anyway, as a precaution.

Stop the TeamForge Application Server and the Apache Server.
- /etc/init.d/httpd stop
- /etc/init.d/collabnet stop

Back up your site data.

Make a dump file of your site database. (Do this on your database server in case you have your DB running on a separate server.)
You have to do a PostgreSQL dump if you are upgrading the PostgreSQL application as part of your TeamForge 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/9.2/backups/teamforge_data_backup.dmp
- exit
- mkdir /tmp/backup_dir
- cp /var/lib/pgsql/9.2/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/9.2/backups/teamforge_reporting_data_backup.dmp

Make an archive file with the following data directories:

Directory	Contents
/opt/collabnet/teamforge/var	User-created data, such as artifact attachments
/opt/collabnet/reviewboard	Review Board data
/opt/collabnet/codesearch	Black Duck Code Sight (BDCS) data, in case you have BDCS installed
/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 /gitroot /opt/collabnet/teamforge/var /opt/collabnet/reviewboard /opt/collabnet/codesearch /tmp/backup_dir
cd /tmp
tar czvf backup.tgz backup_dir

If GIT integration is enabled, do the following:

cp -Rpfv /gitroot /tmp/backup_dir
cp -Rpfv /opt/collabnet/gerrit/ /tmp/backup_dir/gerrit

Compress your backup data.

cd /tmp
tar czvf backup.tgz backup_dir

Back up your SSH keys, if any.
Back up your SSL certificates and keys, if any.
