Backup procedure taken from: http://docs.geonode.org/en/latest/deploy/backup.html

Backup GeoNode Server (with GeoNode 2.0c8):

1. Backup Geonode users DB (psql needs to be running)
   • sudo -u postgres -i pg_dump -c -Fc geonode > /home/ssteinig/geonodedb.backup
2. Stop services
   • sudo service apache2 stop
   • sudo service tomcat7 stop
   • sudo postgresql-8.4 stop o: sudo service postgresql stop (I am actually running PSQL 9.1.11 on cedeusgis1)
3. Backup Geonode config & GeoServer data directory:
   • sudo tar -cvzf /home/ssteinig/geonodeConfigBackup.tgz /etc/geonode
   • sudo tar -cvzf /home/ssteinig/geonodeDataBackup.tgz /var/lib/geoserver/geonode-data/
4. In addition, any templates, design changes, and/or CSS files will also need to be captured.
   • e.g. my modified css and logo have been in /etc/geonode/media/geonode/img/ ... so they should be backed-up within the config tgz file.
   • but my text modifications to the start pages (i18n strings) are in a different location (...perhaps I should save the whole package?)
     • sudo tar -cvzf /home/ssteinig/geonodei18nBackup.tgz /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/geonode/locale/
   • just to be save I may also do a backup of the GeoNode web folder where I have the CSS:
     • sudo tar -cvzf /home/ssteinig/geonodeWWWBackup.tgz /var/www/geonode/
5. re-start the previously stopped services: Apache2, Tomcat7, PSQL

Restore GeoNode Server

copied text - not tested yet

1. stop all services: apache2, tomcat7, psql
2. restore GeoNode config and GeoServer
   • sudo tar -C / -xvzf /home/ssteinig/geonodeConfigBackup.tgz
   • sudo tar -C / -xvzf /home/ssteinig/geonodeDataBackup.tgz
   • when moving to a different server, I did re-run now:
     • sudo geonode-updateip 10.0.2.15 to get the same db settings
     • modify the local_setting.py
       • change the geonode db password to the one from the new machine
       • set the Allowed_Hosts variable to "*"
     • sudo geonode collectstatic -v0 to copy the styles/logo into /var/www/geonode/static/geonode
3. restore the template and design files
   • fill in... with tar -C / -xyzf /ssteinig/myBackupFiles.tgz
   • well, I got a DB error with the new geonode version, ala: "DatabaseError at / [...] <column base_resourcebase.license_id does not exist [...] LINE 1: ...ype_id", "base_resourcebase"."constraints_other", "base_reso... " with the location /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/geonode/search/views.py in search_api, line 160
   • hence, I restored the whole django-geonode package backup-ed before using sudo tar -C / -xvzf /home/ssteinig/geonodePyDjangoBackup.tgz
4. Restore the GeoNode database
   • sudo service postgresql start (or: sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 start)
   • sudo -u postgres psql
   • drop database geonode;
   • create database geonode;
   • \q
   • sudo -u postgres -i pg_restore -Fc -d geonode /home/ssteinig/geonodedb.backup
5. start services: apache2, tomcat7

Restore DB
