backing up the scheduler

Hi there,

What is the recommended way to backup the scheduler?

I am running the multi-platform edition on linux.

Thanks!

Hi,

Nothing fancy is really required. Just backup files from the installation directory as you would backup any other files.

Is it OK to run a backup of this directory while the scheduler is running?
Obviously I would like the scheduler to have a job to backup itself.

Thanks.

Yes. It is ok.

If you want a self-backup, you can use simple

	Code:
	sh /c cp * /home/backups/24x7

or if you want multiple dated backups, consider creating a script type job using batch/shell script type with a text like

	Code:
	#!/bin/sh mkdir /home/backups/24x7/@T"yyyy-mm-dd" cp * /home/backups/24x7/@T"yyyy-mm-dd"
