Backing up Apache Derby databases
You can take a backup of Apache Derby databases by using the method provided here.
Another matter that needs to be given some thought is backup of
the data contained in a Derby database. The recommended (and simplest)
way of doing this is to
- Shut down the Derby database (if running in embedded mode, shut down all IBM Security Directory Integrator instances and Configuration Editor instances)
- Copy the entire Derby directory in your IBM Security Directory Integrator home directory (or whatever Derby directory your global.properties file is pointing to) to a different location, and ensure that this data is safe
- Restart the Derby database (if running in networked mode).
To restore a database, reverse source and destination of the copy operation in the above list of steps.
