回答1:
The necessary steps are mentioned below.
1) Login to the Pentaho installed server with a user who has necessary permission to OS related files.
2) Stop BA server.
3) Take a complete database backup of the quartz, hibernate, and jackrabbit databases. If you’re using Postgresql, use the command‐line tool pg_dump in the postgresql bin folder. You will need to authenticate as the main database user for each database (jcr_user for jackrabbit, hibuser for hibernate, and pentaho_user for quartz). For example (from the command‐line) – for the jackrabbit database:
“C:\Program Files\pentaho\postgresql\bin\pg_dump” –U jcr_user jackrabbit > %TEMP%\jackrabbit.dmp (Windows)
Or
postgresql/bin/pg_dump –U jcr_user jackrabbit > /tmp/jackrabbit.dmp (*nix)
4) Take a backup of full bi-server directory
NB : You can also use the import-export utility to backup content only
