Tips and tricks: Is it possible to backup the Luci (Conga User Interface server) configuration and restore it in the future?

Release Found: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 5

Conga is a web user interface that provides remote management to add and delete cluster nodes, add and delete users along with their privileges. It also provides the capability to remotely configure high-availability and storage clusters. luci maintains a database that stores all cluster and nodes registered to the luci server. It also stores information on all users that are allowed to access those clusters and nodes.

It is ideal to backup the luci database after successfully configuring the cluster infrastructure. The luci_admin backup command backups the luci database and stores the backup data file as /var/lib/luci/var/luci_backup.xml.

Meanwhile, run luci_admin restore to recover the luci database from a backup copy. Only use the luci_admin command when the luci daemon is not running.
