Offline backup with no downtime

  1. Enter the rolling backup mode. (see Entering the backup modes)

    Note that we need to leave the rolling backup mode after a recovery.

  2. Shut down any of the slave nodes of the cluster with respect to AEM. (see Starting and stopping services)

  3. On any node, back up the database, GDS, and Connectors. (see Files to back up and recover)

  4. Perform the following steps to back up AEM repository offline:

    1. For each cluster node, back up the file that contains the cluster node id.

    2. Back up all files of any slave cluster node, including subdirectories.

    3. Back up repository/system.id of each cluster node separately.

    For detailed steps, see Backup and Restore.

  5. Back up any other data, such as customer fonts.

  6. Start the cluster again.
