Data backup

[Lokesh_Shivalingaiah]

What is the best option to take the data backup when the size is very high ? Also is there any option of having incremental backup ?

Hi,

do you mean regular system backup of the complete application including the repository? That depends a lot on your AEM version and the type of persistence you choose. See [1] for the offical documentation.

kind regards,
Jörg

Hi Jorg,

Two questions

1. Is it possible to configure backup at the node (website) level ?

2. Can we setup incremental backup ?

Hi,

nope, you can only backup the complete repository. The repo itself does not write any transaction log like a database does, but you can do online backup from a repo and then let your backup program create an incremental backup from that backup image.

kind regards,
Jörg
