11.3. Virtualhost

To perform a complete backup of a Virtualhost whilst it is stopped (or Broker down), simply copy all the files the exist beneath ${QPID_WORK}/<name>/messages, assuming the virtualhost is in the standard location. This will copy all messages that belongs to that virtualhost.

The technique for backing up a virtualhost whilst it is running depends on its type.

The contents of the virtualhost will be backed up as part of virtualhost node that contains it.
