[opencms-dev] How to backup/restore?

[Arash Kaffamanesh]

Anatol,

Ok, if you wan't to update your system and import your old data from the
previous installation, you should use the data export tool of the
backoffice administration to export the data from your old installation
and then re-import it to the new installation.

By the way, the db schema will not change till the final release in 3
weeks :-)

Best Regards,
Arash Kaffamanesh

If it is for the same opencms version your approch sounds good :-) But, 
what ist, when a new version of opencms (the final comes in a few days, 
I assume ;) ) was published? In this case you would restore with your 
mysqldumps an old system. Right? How can I merge a new blank 
installation with old data? Is it possible to dump some special tables? 
And if, which tables should be backuped and  which not?

Greetings
Anatol
