Backing Up Content Fusion Data
Edit online

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 and task files.

Important: A review task is divided into two parts (task metadata that is stored in a database & task files that are stored on the file-system). Therefore, backups might contain tasks with small de-synchronizations. For this reason, the server administrator should choose a time with the least amount of usage to create the backup.
To create a backup, execute the following command on the Content Fusion machine: 
sudo bash /fusion/admin/create-fusion-backup.sh
This will create a backup archive (fusion-backup.tar.gz) in the current directory. If the backup file already exists, it will be overwritten.

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

To restore Content Fusion from a backup, execute the following command on the Content Fusion machine:
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.

After restoring from the backup, start Content Fusion by using the following command:
sudo bash /fusion/admin/start-content-fusion.sh
