To perform a complete backup of a Virtualhost node whilst it is stopped (or Broker down),
simply copy all the files the exist beneath
${QPID_WORK}/<nodename>/config, assuming the virtualhost node is in
the standard location. This will copy all configuration that belongs to that virtualhost
node.
The technique for backing up a virtualhost node whilst it is running depends on its type.
BDB module includes the "hot" backup utility org.apache.qpid.server.store.berkeleydb.BDBBackup.
This utility can perform the backup when the broker is running.
You can run this class from command line like in an example below:
Example 11.1. Performing store backup by using BDBBackup class
directly
java -cp "${QPID_HOME}/lib/*" org.apache.qpid.server.store.berkeleydb.BDBBackup \
-fromdir ${QPID_WORK}/<nodename>/config -todir path/to/backup/folder
In the example above BDBBackup utility is called to backup the store at
${QPID_WORK}/<nodename>/config and copy store logs into
path/to/backup/folder.
Note
BDB-HA VirtualHost node backups are node specific. You cannot use the backup of one node to recover a different node. To backup a group a backup of each node needs to be taken separately.
The responsibility for backup is delegated to the database server itself. See the documentation accompanying it. Any technique that takes a consistent snapshot of the database is acceptable.
