Upgrading OpenMeetings via the Web-Interface

There is a System Backup and Import tool. Login as Administrator and Goto > Backup

The Text in the Administration>Backup section actually just says it all. The backup contains users, rooms, organizations and appointements (Invitations and Reminders are NOT included in the Backup and Reminders will not be send again!). The Backup contains also all uploaded Files and Documents and will re-import them again. Max Upload Size is 1000 MB.


Upgrading OpenMeetings from command line

You need OpenMeetings 2.x or later to have the command line interface (CLI) feature available

Alternatively to the Web-Installer you can also export and import via the command line.
You should shutdown the Red5-Service while doing CLI export or import operations
Cd to your red5-home directory, type "admin" and hit enter. You will get options available.

A typical export would be:
admin -b -file backup_today.zip

A typical import would be:
admin -r -file backup_yesterday.zip

You can also combine the installation with a backup, that way you will create exactly the user table that existed in the backup.
A typical install from backup would be:
admin -i -file backup_yesterday.zip
please see Command Line Admin for more options
