File extraction/backup

dave_kane

I am looking for an easy fast method for extracting files from Collaboration 8. I am in the process of performing an upgrade and want to do a backup of all files modified after x date in case of issues. I know the webdav option lets me move files in bulk. but i need to search multiple folder and directories to get all the files edited. What is the easiest way i can perform my search in Collaboration and then copy all files modified after a specified date?

My suggestion would be to perform a backup of the database and the collab server filesystem.   This will give you a proper restore point. 

 

A less easy method involves using KMAPI to perform a date range search for documents and extract them to the file system (presumably to a hierarchical directory structure that somewhat mirrors collab; attachments to email messages may be difficult, but you could mimick discussions and email messages with directories).  This would require custom coding (in either jython or java).
