The procedure to backup a DSpace-CRIS instance doesn't substantially differ from the procedure used to backup a basic DSpace instance except for the following aspects:
- CRIS Entities are currently not included in AIP export, so this procedure is only a partial (see also the warnings in the official DSpace documentation) substitute for the DSpace objects backup
DSpace-CRIS uses 4 additional folder, configured in the config/modules/cris.cfg
researcherpage.file.path = ${dspace.dir}/rp-files project.file.path = ${dspace.dir}/rg-files organizationunit.file.path = ${dspace.dir}/ou-files otherresearchobject.file.path = ${dspace.dir}/do-files
Backup procedure
The recommended approach is to backup the database (Storage Layer#MaintenanceandBackup) the assetstore (Storage Layer#Backup) and the additional folders noted in point 2 above (i.e. ${dspace.dir}/rp-files, ${dspace.dir}/rg-files, ${dspace.dir}/ou-files, ${dspace.dir}/do-files
