Restoring a dokuwki to openshift

Question

I have an openshift account with dokuwiki in one app php 5.3 cartige, I do backups using rhc snapshot save every day, today I try to do a restore it with rhc snapshot restore, but it looks like data is from the last git push what I did and the changes which I did into the dokuwiki aren´t into the restored "snapshot". am I doing something wrong? , Rhc command help displays snapshot saves "the state of the application", doesn´t it mean what I expect (save the whole state of application)? Thanks :)

OpenShift offers functionality to backup and restore with the snapshot command within the rhc client tools. To backup your application code, data, logs and configuration, you run:

rhc snapshot save -a {appName} To restore your application, you run: rhc snapshot restore -a {appName} -f {/path/to/snapshot/appName.tar.gz}

Answer 1

When you do an rhc snapshot save, it saves what is in your git repository, what is in your app-root/data, and what is in any databases that you have running. So if you have ssh'd or sftp'd into your application and made changes, or used a web editor to make physical file changes (ones not stored in a database), then those changes will not be reflected in the backup/restore procedure.
