Hi Eduard, Thanks for the explanation and the links. I am not looking for the Java way since we already have a XML exporter in place that is exporting the information in our environment (which is heavily object based) in a way that can be used by third parties. This is the way we are looking for a more final solution. We were looking for an easy and quick (intermediate) solution to bridge the gap so to speak. The strange thing is, that I use google to search extensively for things before i ask for info in this group. I was somewhat surprised to see the link (no 7) which is exactly what I needed! I thank you again for the help and I’m sorry that I have not been able to find it myself. Br, Peter
Hi Peter,
Of course, though you might want to think a bit on the approach.
1) If you want to do it in XWiki using the scheduler plugin, you have to write some groovy script [1] in the scheduled task that you create in order to use the filter module [2] (or the old packager module [3], whichever you choose) in order to export the pages you are interested in and save the result (on the filesystem or as an attachment in a page).
As inspiration, you could check out the source code (in java) of the export action [4] which is exactly what is going on when you are exporting a page from the UI.
2) A simpler choice, IMO, would be to schedule a cron [5] task on a linux machine (possible the same one running the XWiki instance) and have that task simply download (using something like cURL [6]) the result of a manually crafter export URL (as detailed in our documentation [7]) containing the list of pages to export.
Hope this helps, Eduard

Hi,
Is there a way to generate XAR’s using XWiki’s scheduling function? I’m not looking for a DB based backup but merely for a backup of spaces / pages.
With kind regards,
