How do I backup my data?

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Log in to the the 'setup.pl' administrative interface, using your ledgersmb database admin user (usually "lsmb_dbadmin" or "postgres"). The default address for setup.pl is http://localhost/ledgersmb/setup.pl.

There are 2 buttons:

  • Backup database (parts, customers, accounting records, etc)
  • Backup roles (your login accounts and rights)

One creates a backup of the content of your database. The other creates a backup of the roles.

Upgrade to LedgerSMB 1.8

Submitted by ehu on

Overview

Company database upgrades are supported all the way back from 1.4 directly to 1.8, using the 1.8 software. Company database upgrades from 1.3 and 1.2 are also supported, but due to the different nature of the upgrade process are called "migrations". The important difference being that when doing a migration, a copy of the data is being created in the 1.8 structure, while upgrades adjust the existing structure for 1.8.

Upgrade to LedgerSMB 1.6 (from 1.5 or 1.4/starman)

Upgrading tarball installations

There are two steps to upgrading a LedgerSMB 1.5.x to 1.6:

  1. Upgrade the software
  2. Upgrade the company database

The last step must be executed for each company database that's set up.

These steps also apply when upgrading a 1.4 installation running Starman. To upgrade 1.4 installations not running on Starman, or to upgrade from earlier versions, please see Upgrading to Ledgersmb 1.5. Note that the default configuration for 1.4 runs CGI, not Starman.
