A system and method for centralized backup and recovery of enterprise content management systems comprises a plurality of distributed heterogeneous content systems comprising distributed content servers having storage areas for managed content. Backup comprises querying the content servers associated with the distributed content systems to determine the host names, directory locations, and directory file structures of the storage areas, and launching coordinated backup processes on each of the distributed servers to backup in a particular order full text index files, databases containing metadata related to the files in storage areas, and storage area content. Backup and recovery is managed by a centralized backup/recovery server application that invokes backup and recovery client processes on the distributed remote content servers.

Backup and recovery of distributed storage areas

Performing a backup is disclosed. A first set of data associated with a second set of data is backed up. The first set of data is made available for use before backing up the second set of data. The second set of data is backed up within a prescribed interval after completing the backup of the first set of data. One of the first set of data and the second set data comprises metadata associated with the other of the first set of data and the second set of data and the other comprises one or more items of managed content.

Automated backup and recovery for content repository

Performing a backup is disclosed. One or more directories at a lowest level in a file directory associated with a storage is identified. The identified lowest level directories are divided into one or more directory groups. The backup of the directory groups is performed using parallel threads until all directory groups have been backed up.
