Performing an Offline Back Up

Perform a log store backup while the project server is not running.

Prerequisites

Before shutting down Event Stream Processor, verify the locations of the project files and the type of store defined for each stream. Ensure there are no data streams publishing or subscribing to the project.

Task

Use the following command to stop the project:
```
$ESP_HOME/bin/esp_cluster_admin --uri=esp://cluster_server:19011 --username=me --password=sybase --stop project <workspace-name>/<project-name> [<instance-index>]
```
For port, enter the port number used by your Event Stream Processor installation. For espuser and password, enter your user credentials.
Back up the .ccl and .ccr files for each project and its associated log stores. On Linux and Solaris systems, use the tar system utility. On Windows systems, use the pkzip freeware utility or equivalent. Use the path <base-directory>/<workspace-name>.<project-name>.<instance-number> to back up individual log stores. Use the <base-directory>/<workspace-name>.<project-name>.<instance-number> folder to back up all log stores in a project.
