Repository copy over to other regions

[swathib78201134]

Hi,

We ran data store garbage collection in our lower regions like PTE for author instance. But that did not save any space. The disk space before and after we ran data-store garbage collection were same. We decided to copy over the production repository to lower region. Below are the steps we followed. After the repo is copied we are not able to start the lower region (PTE). Attaching the error message for reference.Please advice on how to fix this or copy prod repo to lower regions

• Stop the PTE author instance.
• Tack a backup of entire instance ( contains crx-quickstart folder and repo folder) into a toast server.
• Once the back-up is finished, delete the existing repo from instance.
• Copy the prod repo into PTE author.
• Start the server.

Our AEM cloud experts stated:

Copying over a repo to another server instance ONLY works if the absolute PATH to /crx-quickstart is EXACTLY the same.

 A better option to clone the entire disk, and attach it to the other server instance.
