This topic covers backing up and restoring the Docstore database. Note: If you need to move the storage location of documents in Docstore please see Moving Document Type Storage Location.

Backing up a Docstore

This example assumes that:

Docstore library is DOCSTORE1

All documents are saved in subfolders of the IFS path: /cppd/DocStore/DOCSTORE1/

•Save the IFS files to a Save file [*SAVF] in the DocStore library:

CRTSAVF FILE(DOCSTORE1/DOCSAV)

SAV DEV('/qsys.lib/DOCSTORE1.lib/DOCSAV.file') OBJ(('/cppd/DocStore/DOCSTORE1/*')) SAVACT(*YES)

•Save the Docstore library (which now includes the IFS documents)

SAVLIB LIB(DOCSTORE1) to whatever media.

Restoring a Docstore

This will restore the IFS Save file created in the previous section to a new IFS folder for comparison:

•Restore the Docstore library to library DOCSTR_OLD

RSTLIB SAVLIB(DOCSTORE1) RSTLIB(DOCSTR_OLD) from whatever media you saved to

•Create the folder for the documents:

CRTDIR DIR('/cppd_old')

CRTDIR DIR('/cppd_old/DocStore')

CRTDIR DIR('/cppd_old/DocStore/DOCSTORE1')

•Restore the Docstore documents

RST DEV('/qsys.lib/DOCSTORE1.lib/DOCSAV.file') OBJ(('/cppd' *INCLUDE '/cppd_old'))
