In current release, there is no utility to dump data and import it back at runtime. We are planning to add export import functionality in next release.
However, there is a workaround to backup your data for current release. You can copy rasdb and data directories to another place for backup. In order to restore you need to copy these directories back to RapidInformer directory.
For me, in a product like RapidInformer, the "data" is the messages and all the rest is configuration. I expect to be able to either:
- export the configuration from a development system and import it onto a production system
- backup the production configuration and be able to restore it on a freshly installed system if needed.
I'd suggest to provide an import/export for the configuration, and a raw backup/restore for the data only.
Ability to import/export the configuration will be added to RapidInformer in the future releases. As of now, you can do this manually by copying the following folders:
- conf
- connectors
- data
- rasDB
- scripts
If you do not want to migrate the messages, remove RapidInformerInstallation/data/RapidInformer folder.
