backup

sunsun

i read in the documentation that you have to have a backup utility with iwfreeze facility to backup the content store

can anyone suggest what tool can be used to do so?
i mean to backup the entire content store for it to be utilized in the new installation of the teamsite and also that can execute the iwfreeze command.

we are in the process of upgrading from 5.5.2 to 6.5
can some one tell what important backup steps we need to perform and what cautions we need to take so we dont loose our old work.

thanks

and does not create any new workareas in the new store

I would suggest doing it manually. Stop all the services related to Interwoven, mainly the 4 important one, na then back up the iw-store and save it on you local drive, well you can rename it and save it too. Back up your important configuration files, and then install the upgrade and copy back the iw-store and bring the services up. This procedure is explained in many posts over ages, i don't see any complications with this process, on contrary, this is a very risky and critical process, have to be delt with CAREFULLY..!

I think that after the installation of the upgrade, modifications are automatically made to the existing backing store to be consistent with the current work. So why do we need to copy back the iw-store content. This probably would only be required if doing a fresh install on a new dev server and copying the existing backing store from the old backing store to the newly created backing store.

correct me if my thinking is wrong.

also suggest me what is the reason for this
any time i use net stop iwserver and use net start iwserver again, i get an error saying the teamsite service could not be started.
does it mean that everytime i stop the iwserver i have to restart the whole development server? because i had read that the server should never be manually started. has to start when the machine boots. and it would also not be possible to start the server since people might be working on the server.

I guess you are right regarding the backing store, i was confused a little. Don't need to copy in an Upgrae scenario, but yes, certainly have to copy if doing a new install. Regarding the starting server, According to the manual, we do a iwfreeze, which freezes the server for sometime, and still people can login and read the content, but cannot modify. I would say depending on number of people accessing teamsite at a time, we can schedule server reboot. Cuz if you do a ner iwserver start/stop will intermittently stop all even when other users are working on the system, and when you restart it, it may throw an error as it was doing it to you. Instead of all this hastle, we can just reboot the system later in the night, when people wouldn't be accessing the services and bring it back up. This will restore normal functionality with out any ambiguous errors.
I hope i have answered your question
Thank you

We're running TS 6.5 SP2 on a Windows 2000 Server. I'm getting a couple of "Sharing violations" myself when trying to back up our content store, even after freezing TS. What can I do about it?

I'm using the XCOPY command with the "/C" switch to continue despite errors. (I'm using other switches too; see the source code of my batch file, meant to be run every night, below.) I noticed that, after XCOPY finished, 2 files were missing from the destination. What am I supposed to do? Ignore the omissions?

Thanks,

S.
