Offline backup script

[#1]

Hi,

Using AEM 6.2 SP1 on windows.

I've been asked if we can script an offline backup (stop server, clone dir, start server).

Question: How do you suggest detecting the server has stopped cleanly?

Thanks

Joel

In your compaction script add a sleep time of 45 seconds (depending on how long your instance takes to shutdown + 20 seconds) after you've shutdown AEM server as part of your script.
