Simply backup and restore your domains in GlassFish Using GlassFish Command ConsolePosted by kalali on April 25, 2006 at 05:23 PM | Comments (1)Do you ever though about creating a backup copy of your domains in GlassFish , for example before doing something unpredictable , meanwhile you like your domain because of its configurations ? here is simple steps to create backup and restore those backup. before we go any further you should know , domaindir that we see in many of asadmin commands has a default value its default value is : GlassFish_home/domains , in all of those commands that has domaindir parameter, if you explicitly do not identify the domaindir asadmin will use the default values. So , when you use domain1 in some command , asadmin will look inside GlassFish_home/domains for that particular domain. steps to create a backup :
in case that you want to create a backup from a domain named domain1 (which is default domain) after you execute this command , asadmin will create a folder named backups inside GlassFish_home/domains/domain1 and place a zip file there. The zip file is a backup of your domain . For example the zip file could be : sjsas_backup_v00001.zip it means that it is first backup that you create for this domain. if you open the zip file you can see a file named backup.properties which contain informations like : #Backup Status #Wed Apr 26 01:00:40 IRDT 2006 timestamp.human=Wed Apr 26 01\:00\:40 IRDT 2006 domain.name=domain1 user.name=Masoud Kalali domain.dir=F\:\\glassfish\\domains\\domain1 domains.dir=F\:\\glassfish\\domains timestamp.msec=1146004240218 description=I made this backup before chaning default domain descriptor backup.file=F\:\\glassfish\\domains\\domain1\\backups\\sjsas_backup_v00001.zip There is a command which helps you to find out how much backups you have and shows you information related to each backup entry you made.This command is : list-backups it get an operand , the operand will be your domain name. You can also tell it that your domain dir is not the default place using --domaindir parameter. Now lets see how we can restore this backup using asadmin administration console. there is a command named restore-domain , this command will restore a domain using a backup file. Simply you need just to pass an operand which is your domain name. If you do this , it will restore your domain using your latest backup . So if I execute : restore-domain domain1 it will looks inside the backups folder (the default place) and select latest backup then it will try to restore the domain using that backup. you can use --filename parameter to specify another backup file which should be passed using a full path. I should say that this command accept domaindir parameter as other commands that we talked about them this time. Bookmark blog post:  del.icio.us  Digg  DZone  Furl  Reddit
