Backing up project data

Back up your project data if you want to restore the data later in another Wazi Analyze container or replace the data in the existing Wazi Analyze container.

Complete the following steps to back up and restore project data.
  1. Optional: Run the following command to shut down the server of the previous version of Wazi Analyze if it is running. 
    wa-shutdown.sh
  2. Copy and transfer the project data that you want to back up under the /home/wazi/data directory to your local machine. Copy the entire data directory if you want to back up all projects.
    Note:  The following project directories are recommended to be copied and transferred.
    1. Directories for all the projects that you created
    2. Project directory (for default project), if you make changes to the project.dat file and want to back up the source files to be scanned
  3. Copy the autoDB.txt file from the /home/wazi/data directory to your local machine.
  4. Restore the project data that you have backed up.
    • Copy and transfer all the project data that you backed up from your local machine to the /home/wazi/data directory.
    • Copy and transfer the autoDB.txt file that you backed up on your local machine to the /home/wazi/data directory.
