Request URI: /rest/fcr:backup Methods: POST fcr:backup Initiate a (consistent) backup of the repository
You may include a backup directory in the body of the POST request. If you do not specify a directory, the backup will be stored in a temporary directory on the server (which will be returned in the response body). As yet, there is not a REST API method for retrieving the content of the backup. |
Example: curl -X POST "http://localhost:8080/rest/fcr:backup" |
Response: Status: 200 OK
Body:
/tmp/fcrepo4-data/path/to/backup/directory |
Example 2: Including a destination directory curl -X POST -d /path/to/backup/destination "http://localhost:8080/rest/fcr:backup" |
Response: Status: OK
Request URI: /rest/fcr:restore Methods: POST fcr:restore Replace repository content with data from a backup directory
Note: Restoring a backup replaces the repository content with the contents of the backup, so any data in the repository will be lost. |
Example: curl -X POST -d "/tmp/fcrepo4-data/path/to/backup/directory" "http://localhost:8080/rest/fcr:restore" |
Response: Status: Backup restored Error restoring backup
