three options

1. login as jasperadmin and right click on the root folder and click Export. https://community.jaspersoft.com/documentation/jasperreports-server-administration-guide/v550/import-and-export-through-web-ui
2. use js-export through command line. https://community.jaspersoft.com/documentation/jasperreports-server-administration-guide/v550/import-and-export-through-command-line
3. Create a snapshot of the VM being used and restore when necessary

From your question, I'm not sure if you want to backup the environment or the data. If you want to backup the data on the server, the way to go is either option 1 or 2 provided by reportdev.

If you want to backup the environment, the way to go is to backup the OS. If you setup JasperReports Server as a docker container, it would be easier to recreate the environment.

thanks both for your thoughts andsuggestions... i guess i am overreacting...

my concernshave always been if i get run over by a bus and their reporting system corrupts how do i document a reasonable recovery process

but thinking about that ... its fairly straightforward...

 

dear future developer

download and install comunity jasperreports server

refer to my release docs for deployed reports

access those on the security usb stick and for each 

goto manage serve settings> import report

 

job done

 

thanks again guys
