The storage layout used by Chorus in /space is proprietary for performance reasons. To extract a conventional dump of the contents of your Chorus server, a script is provided in the following directory:

Code Block
xml
xml

cd /opt/thirdlight/ims/scripts
./extract.php -o [path]

Code Block
xml
xml

cd /opt/thirdlight/ims/scripts
./extract.php -o /mnt/backups

-c

Create path, exit if it exists

-n

-v

-q

Quiet - synonym for -v1

-g

GID of the site to extract

-s

Name of site to extract

-o

Output destination

-f

Force operation - ignore space checking

-u

Update existing directory

-l

Output symlinks, instead of copying files

-p

Include user Private Spaces

-r

-b

Include user Recycle Bins

The -l flag is particularly useful for creating a "flat" copy of Chorus but without using additional storage.
