 Description   

A prospect was asking how to copy data from a PROD public instance to another. I thought about the backup module, but it states that on PROD it shall not be used, but using database tools instead.

 

From the documentation :
For production environments, we recommend you use both database tools and file system copies (the contents of any file stored and optionally Lucene indexes) to have consistent and transaction-safe backups.

 

I haven't found anything related in the doc, it would be great to have a space in the documentation where that procedure is a bit more explained in a generic / high level way (considering that different databases can be used behind JCR). This would fit in the Administrators section, and backup module documentation could refer to it somehow.
