Performing an Offline Backup

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.

Task

If you are backing up a project, use the following command to stop it:
```
$ESP_HOME/bin/esp_cluster_admin --uri=esp[s]://<cluster_server>:19011 --username=<username> --password=<password> --stop_project <workspace-name>/<project-name> [<instance-number>]
```
Replace 19011 with your cluster cache number. For username and password, enter your user credentials. Use the URI protocol esps for clusters that are SSL-enabled; for clusters that are not, use esp.
Note: If you omit the password parameter when you call the esp_cluster_admin tool, Event Stream Processor prompts you for the password and hides it as you type, which improves security.
If you are backing up a cluster, use esp_cluster_admin to stop the nodes.
Back up the .ccl files, the .ccr files, and the log stores for each project. On Linux and Solaris systems, use the tar system utility. On Windows systems, use the pkzip freeware utility or equivalent. To find the individual log stores in a project, follow the path <base-directory>/<workspace-name>.<project-name>.<instance-number>.
