It is strongly recommended to make backups of the JMap Server setup.
If the JMap Server System database was moved to another RDBMS, it must be included in the backup strategy. It contains very sensitive information like personal layers data.
The simpler backup strategy is to make copies of the JMap directory and all sub-directories.
If you wish to make smaller backups, you can make copies of the specific directories listed below, which contain important information.
Directory
conf
Contains all parameter files such as jmapserver.properties, usermanager.properties, etc.
db
Contains configuration files (projects, layers, etc.) as well as the JMap Server System database, unless it was moved to another RDBMS.
backups
Default directory for storing export files.
workspaces
User workspaces contain the users’ personal parameters and contexts.
