Backup¶
To backup your Grape instance you can use the backup script in the folder /data/grape/data/setup/current/extra.
It supports both taking “hot” backups (default, no downtime) and “cold” backups (instance gets shut down, backed up, started again).
The backups get stored in subfolders of the folder /data/grape/data/backup/.
Example output of a hot backup run:
grape@server:~$ /data/grape/data/setup/current/extra/backup.sh
