Procedure

  1. Make a backup copy of the entire folder tree of your installation (<WS_HOME>).
  2. If you are using Apache Tomcat on Linux and you have an existing Output and Artwork framework, also back up $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml.
  3. Back up your WorldServer database.
  4. Back up all filesystem mounts to which WorldServer connects.
  5. Save any reports you have created.
