How to export and install content with version history

[matija_kovacek]

I have a case where I need to backup a content (site pages) including their versions, so to we can an any time on any instance restore the content with their versions. Content is on AEMaaCS, restore activity can be and doesn't need to be on AEMaaCS.

Seems crx2oak could support this, but we can't use it due to AEMaaCS.

We tried to create a package with content and versions /jcr:system/jcr:versionStorage/*. Can be exported, but can't be installed on other instance, due to different errors, based on how we export versions (e.g versionStorage root VS versionHistory of the page VS only specific version of the page )

First error was org.apache.jackrabbit.vault.packaging.PackageException: Error creating/updating node /jcr:system/jcr:versionStorage/8e/90/dd/8e90dd8e-b13b-4d44-83a1-ea6c8498d3be. Caused by javax.jcr.nodetype.ConstraintViolationException: /content/test/main/en/archive/jcr:content/jcr:versionHistory is protected

Also I'm aware of VersionManger and VersionHistory API.

I'm wondering is it possible to somehow programmatically achieve this or any different way?

Thanks.

Hi @matija_kovacek ,

I dont think it is possible in aem cloud.

What would be possibilities on non cloud version?

For Non cloud, like you said CRX2OAK is the option. Used in AMS/On Prem set up for transferring with version.
