GateIn uses context /portal/rest, therefore you need to use http://host:port/portal/rest/ instread of http://host:port/rest/

GateIn uses form authentication, so first you need to login (url to form authentication is http://host:port/portal/login) and then perform requests.

The HTTPBackupAgent is based on REST (see details about the REST Framework).

HTTPBackupAgent is using POST and GET methods for request.

The HTTPBackupAgent allows :

  • Start backup

  • Stop backup

  • Restore from backup

  • Delete the workspace

  • Get information about backup service (BackupManager)

  • Get information about current backup / restores / completed backups

/rest/jcr-backup/start/{repo}/{ws}

Parameters: no

Returns:

Add the components org.exoplatform.services.jcr.ext.backup.server.HTTPBackupAgent and org.exoplatform.services.jcr.ext.backup.BackupManager to services configuration :


<component>
  <type>org.exoplatform.services.jcr.ext.backup.server.HTTPBackupAgent</type>
</component>

<component>
  <type>org.exoplatform.services.jcr.ext.repository.RestRepositoryService</type>
</component>

<component>
  <key>org.exoplatform.services.jcr.ext.backup.BackupManager</key>
  <type>org.exoplatform.services.jcr.ext.backup.impl.BackupManagerImpl</type>
  <init-params>
    <properties-param>
      <name>backup-properties</name>
      <property name="backup-dir" value="../temp/backup" />
    </properties-param>
  </init-params>
</component>

In case, if you will restore backup in same workspace (so you will drop previous workspace), you need configure RepositoryServiceConfiguration in order to save the changes of the repository configuration. For example


<component>
  <key>org.exoplatform.services.jcr.config.RepositoryServiceConfiguration</key>
  <type>org.exoplatform.services.jcr.impl.config.RepositoryServiceConfigurationImpl</type>
  <init-params>
    <value-param>
      <name>conf-path</name>
      <description>JCR repositories configuration file</description>
      <value>jar:/conf/portal/exo-jcr-config.xml</value>
    </value-param>
    <properties-param>
      <name>working-conf</name>
      <description>working-conf</description>
      <property name="source-name" value="jdbcjcr" />
      <property name="dialect" value="hsqldb" />
      <property name="persister-class-name" value="org.exoplatform.services.jcr.impl.config.JDBCConfigurationPersister" />
    </properties-param>
  </init-params>
</component>
