Re: How to back up a CF8 installation?

Server settings, data sources, scheduled tasks, installed tags, etc. We're running a fairly plain vanilla CF8 Standard install on Win2k3 Server with IIS6. I don't really know the exact paths for standard edition, but for enterprise the files to backup are: - /jrun4/bin/*.config (JVM settings) - /jrun4/lib/*.properties (license key) - /jrun4/lib/wsconfig/* (webserver connectors) And for each instance: - /web-inf/cfusion/lib/*.properties (cf settings and license key) - /web-inf/cfusion/lib/*.xml (cf settings) If you combine this with a Windows system state backup you even get all you IIS settings to work after a restore.

Does anyone have pointers, or maybe a link to instructions on how to back up a CF8 installation? Server settings, data sources, scheduled tasks, installed tags, etc. We're running a fairly plain vanilla CF8 Standard install on Win2k3 Server with IIS6. Back up your neo-*.xml files in \cfusion\lib. Everything's in there. You can create CAR files in CF Enterprise, but I don't know if that option's available in Standard; I prefer that, but back up the .xml files anyway.

Re: How to back up a CF8 installation?
Jim, You can export your server settings to a CF .CAR which can later be used to reset your settings during a reinstall. I believe the CF8 standard offers that. In the CF Admin, look for a section called Packaging Deployment and in there you'll see an option called ColdFusion Archives. Is that what you're looking for? Rey...
