Issue 1650: Need a procedure to gerrit backup and restore
Status:  New
Owner: ----
Reported by forvai...@gmail.com, Nov 8, 2012
We wanted to do rehearsal of Gerrit backup and Restore. We do gerrit replication to other server, saved review_site folder's tarfile and save mysql dump in yet another gerrit repo. 

Upon importing sqldump and setting correct connection params gerrit comes up but did not show groups and projects.

Later I have found that AllProjects.git was not replicated I could not be cloned as HEAD was not pointing to a branch. I have copied it manually gerrit came up but again it didn't show Groups; 

Please let me know correct methof of gerrit backup and restore. I wonder why projects information is not in SQL ?

Thx/Mahesh.

I'm trying to do a similar kind of setup, but like to know if you were able to get through this and if so what is the right procedure. Also I'm trying of mysql from a shared server and by which I can have two instances of gerrit server referring to same myql shared DB. If one server goes down other one can come up automatically and reference the same mysql DB. Do someone see any issues with this kind of setup.
