System backups
You should perform regular backups of your instances.
In addition to performing regular backups of reliable storage, as described in Storage reliability, you should perform the backups:
- All databases
- Binary storage
- The Jive installation directory (by default, this is
/usr/local/jive)
The simplest solution is to back up the entire contents of the Jive installation directory. A more selective option is to back up only the /applications and /etc subdirectories. In either case, you should make backups in accordance with standard backup practices.
Before you upgrade Jive, you should make a full backup of the entire installation directory.
