Create a backup directory in Linux
In the Linux environment, MadCap Software recommends that you store all the docbase backups in a top-level folder, called docbase_backups. You can then create a sub-folder for IXIA TEXTML Server version and then a sub-folder for each docbase backup.
If you plan to back up more than one docbase , such as "docbaseA" and "docbaseB", your directory structure would look like this:
/docbase_backups/[version]/docbaseA
/docbase_backups/[version]/docbaseB
Very important notes- The user that runs the TEXTML Server daemon must have write
privileges to the top-level docbase_backups
directory.Note: To determine the name of the user that is running the TEXTML Server, see the
username
field in the /opt/ixiasoft/textmlserver/<instancename>/textmlserver4.conf file. By default, this istextml
. - The backup directory must not be within the directory structure of your live docbase .
- Never use one of the following directories by itself
to store the backups:
/
,/tmp
,/usr
,/lib
,/var
,/etc
, ...
root
and you select the option to overwrite existing backups.
