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.
Use the same backup utility described above, but use the path
${QPID_WORK}/<name>/messages instead.
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.
The contents of the virtualhost will be backed up as part of virtualhost node that contains it.
