Procedure
I will describe the procedure I use to backup my Openbravo Production environment, I'm well aware this is not the best and most efficient way and will try to continually find better options to do it.
Backup
1. Go to Production environment and Sign in through SSH Console (you can use Putty or other SSH Clients) 2. Stop the Openbravo Server sudo /etc/init.d/openbravo stop 3. Make a Backup of the entire Openbravo "Instance" (all the files and database are contained in the OpenBravoERP Folder inside /opt cd /opt sudo tar cvzf OpenbravoERP-3.0.tar.gz OpenbravoERP-3.0 4. Restart OpenBravo Server sudo /etc/init.d/openbravo start I usually have problems restarting the server, and from time to time have to reboot the entire server for this to work propertly.
Restore
In order to restore the backup:
sudo /etc/init.d/openbravo stop cd /opt rm -r OpenbravoERP-3.0 sudo tar xvzpf OpenbravoERP-3.0.tar.gz sudo /etc/init.d/openbravo start
