13.3. The Repository Manager

The org.modeshape.jcr.api.RepositoryManager interface contains the backup and restore functions. 
public interface RepositoryManager {

    ...

    Problems backupRepository( File backupDirectory ) throws RepositoryException;

    ...

    Problems restoreRepository( File backupDirectory ) throws RepositoryException;

    ...

}
The following code demonstrates how to access the repository manager from a standard authenticated JCR session: 
javax.jcr.Repository repository = ...
javax.jcr.Credentials credentials = ...
String workspaceName = ...
javax.jcr.Session session = repository.login(credentials,workspaceName);
org.modeshape.jcr.api.Session msSession = (org.modeshape.jcr.api.Session)session;
org.modeshape.jcr.api.RepositoryManager repoMgr = ((org.modeshape.jcr.api.Session)session).getWorkspace().getRepositoryManager();

Note

Which workspace is used by the session is not important.
