To back up server projects, simply copy them from one location to another. Make sure you stop the server before copying files.
All server projects are stored in a projects directory in a server. You may periodically copy this directory from a running server to a backup server. However, there may be some issues with this approach:
- You can copy files that are in an inconsistent state (for example, one file contains new data while another has earlier data). One solution is to have copies in different times, reducing the risk of losing a consistent project state.
- A running server may have corrupted data, which may be copied to a backup server. In this case, you could have more than one backup so that the latest working backup may be used in case of data loss.
- The server hardware or software fails, so that you cannot start Teamwork Server at all. If this occurs, you can install a new Teamwork Server and simply move all data from a project's directory to other hardware and start the server there.
Remember that you can always restore your project from a previous stable version of your data.
