Comment: Save/restore authority as well as statistics

  1. First, you should STOP tomcat on the new server.  These steps require the site to be down.
  2. The database data - Make sure to export the database data from your old DSpace site using a tool like "pg_dump" (for PostgresSQL): https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/backup-dump.html  If you use "pg_dump", you'll end up with a large SQL file which contains all the data from your old database.  (e.g. "pg_dump -U [db_username] [db_name] > [output_file.sql]")
  3. The "assetstore" folder - This folder is in your DSpace installation directory and it contains all the files stored in your DSpace.  You will need all the contents of this folder (including all subdirectories), so you could choose to zip it up or you could copy it over directly.
  4. The Solr data (optional) - DSpace authority and statistics are stored in Solr. If you want to keep these statistics, you will want to export them from the old Solr and move them over.  Use the "solr-export-statistics" tool provided with DSpace:  see "Export SOLR Statistics" in the Solr Statistics Maintenance guide.   (Requires Solr to be running)
