Dan, Perhaps my email wasn't clear. It says "also need to provide user instructions to backup the entire repo". By "also" I meant "in addition to" a gold backup/recovery. Thanks for clarifying a couple points I could not get an answer to: 1) Our only backup devices are the cluster disks. 2

Bob, I agree with you, the best user experience would come from backup and restore of the entire repository. In our case, however, there's a big problem: We do not have enough unallocated disk space on the RFO cluster to implement this. So I don't see a problem in recommending the full

Hi Vincent, As per my previous email, this is probably not a great way to back up a fossology database. But it's good functionality to have because we could add a feature that allows users to remove all non-reused files except gold to save disk space. I don't see any bad ramifications e

Hi Bob, If no dependencies with the unpacked files at the backup point, I think we should not do unpack on the fly at the restore time. We just restore the gold files and give the user's opinion to unpack the gold files as they needed. Is this opinion make sense? Or this will bring some bad rami
