Uploading large packages

[jakej40603950]

Hello,

Will uploading large packages (~500mb) with thousands of pages using package manager and installing them cause any issues - like corrupt the repository? It it a good idea to back up the repository before the upload?

Or is it fully safe and can be carried out without any precautions?

Thanks Ravi. Info in that link was useful.

But one thing is still not clear.. Do you see any reason to back up aem repo before large (or even smaller ones) package uploads? Any repo inconsistencies that it can lead to?

It is always better to keep backup of aem instances on regular basis (preferably daily/weekly for prod servers based on the usage).
