For more information about Nuxeo backup and restore, please refer to:

Find out Nuxeo database info and data folder

In Nuxeo web interface, select 'Admin Center' -> 'System Information' -> 'Setup', then we can see where is the database and where is the data folder.

Use postgresql dump to backup Nuxeo database:

pg_dump dbname > outfile

For example, on the Nuxeo server:

pg_dump nuxeo > nuxeo_db_20130903.sql

You can create a compressed DB backup as follows:

pg_dump -Fc nuxeo > 20151225-nuxeo.bak

example: Use rdiff to backup Nuxeo data folder: http://rdiff-backup.nongnu.org/examples.html

example: use rsync to backup the binaries folder: rsync -azv /Volumes/Work-Data/nuxeo-data-storage/binaries/ admin@nas.ghfip.com.au:/share/HDA_DATA/Backups/nuxeo-binaries/binaries

Execute the backup script periodically
