Is it OK to backup or zip up production files while services are running?

What is the best way to backup the production ColdFusion?

    Hi,

    You can export your server settings to a CF .CAR which can later be used to reset your settings during a reinstall. In the CFAdmin UI, left side bottom "Packaging & Deployment" then select option called "ColdFusion Archives" then "Create archive".

    Perhaps you want to practice restoring a CAR on a development system prior to needing to do so on live environment.

    Bye, Carl.

    Hi Carl,

    I need to backup the entire application including the server settings.

    WOuld the ColdFusion Archives backs up the entire application or just the server settings?
