fcr:backup/fcr:restore Functionality

These tests are designed to ensure the proper function of the 'fcr:backup/fcr:restore' features by testing them against various Fedora configurations.  The validity of the 'restore' can only be determined by crawling the repository and verifying the successful retrieval of the repository's content.

If the anticipated Fedora release is not backwards compatible with the previous version of Fedora, then the "From Fedora Version" should be the previous version.  Otherwise, it is sufficient to test the fcr:backup/fcr:restore functionality using the same version.

See: RESTful HTTP API - Backup and Restore

# Backup
curl -X POST localhost:8080/rest/fcr:backup
 
# Restore
curl -X POST -d "/path/to/backup/directory" localhost:8080/rest/fcr:restore

Resources

• These python scripts - fcrepo-testing - can be used to load RDF content and binary content to a Fedora repository and verify the integrity of the loaded resources.  Output from the load process can be used to verify the integrity of a 'restored' repository.  See the README for more info.
• This script can be used to walk your repository, failing if a non-success response is encountered.

Tested by	Platform	Container (Tomcat/Jetty)	Database Backend	From Fedora Version	To Fedora Version	Number of RDF Resources	Number of Binaries	Size of Backup (du -h .)	Success?	Notes
Kevin Ford	Linux	Tomcat (7.0.72)	Postgres (9.4)	4.6.1	4.7.1-RC1	461,568	1,671	48G
Kevin Ford	Mac	Jetty (Standalone)		4.7.1-RC1	4.7.1-RC1	25,600	0
Kevin Ford	Mac	Jetty (Standalone)		4.7.1-RC1	4.7.1-RC1	12,800	12,800	13GB

NB: "Success" is measured not by receiving a "204 No Content" message after the 'fcr:restore' command, but by performing a GET on every resource in the repository and receiving "200 OK" messages.
