Back up CollabNet TeamForge 5.3 data

Save a copy of your TeamForge 5.3 site data to a location where you can quickly retrieve it to your TeamForge 5.4 site.

1. Stop the TeamForge application server and the Apache server.
   • /etc/init.d/collabnet stop
   • /etc/init.d/httpd stop
2. Back up your PostgreSQL database.
   • sudo su - postgres -c '/usr/bin/pg_dumpall > /var/lib/pgsql/backups/ctf53.dmp'
   Note: If your database is running on a separate machine from your application server, run this command on the database machine.
3. Copy the following data directories to a safe location:

   Directory	Contents
   /opt/collabnet/teamforge/var	User-created data, such as artifact attachments
   /opt/collabnet/teamforge/svnroot	Subversion source code repositories
   /opt/collabnet/teamforge/sf-svnroot	Subversion repository for branding data
   /opt/collabnet/teamforge/cvsroot	CVS source code repositories (not present on all sites)

   Important: To make sure you can use the directories later, use the "preserve permissions" flag when copying them. A command to copy them all at once will look like this:

   • cp -Rpf /cvsroot /svnroot /sf-svnroot /opt/collabnet/teamforge/var /tmp/backup_dir
4. Stop PostgreSQL.
   • /etc/init.d/postgresql stop
