User Data BackupΒΆ

UForge also stores information that is uploaded by the users of the platform. These are:

  • packages, binaries and files that are uploaded in My Software or Projects
  • images (photos, appliance logos etc)
  • boot scripts
  • licenses (attached to projects and My Software)
  • UForge Studio packages

All this information is stored in the following directory: /tmp/USER_DATA

Like the database, this is important information that must be backed up on a regular basis. The same mechanism can be used for back up as the database, namely using rsync as highlighted in UForge Database Basic Backup, or disk mirroring (RAID), or both.
