1.2. Restore your repository

Once you have a complete backup, you can restore it after upgrading your system by using the restoreRepository method provided by the org.modeshape.jcr.api.RepositoryManager interface.
  • Run this code in your Apache JCR session: 
    org.modeshape.jcr.api.RepositoryManager repoMgr = ...
java.io.File backupDirectory = ...
Problems problems = repoMgr.restoreRepository(backupDirectory);
if ( problems.hasProblems() ) {
    System.out.println("Problems backing up the repository:");
    // Report the problems (we'll just print them out) ...
    for ( Problem problem : problems ) {
         System.out.println(problem);
    }
} else {
    System.out.println("The restoration was successful");
}

Warning

Do not delete your old data and backups before verifying that your migration is a success.
