Backing up the Message Brokers Toolkit workspace

where user_ID is the user name with which you are logged on.

The workspace directory contains a directory called .metadata, which contains your personal settings and preferences for the workbench. If the .metadata directory gets corrupted, you lose these settings, and the workbench reverts to the default layout and preferences. If you have not backed up the .metadata directory, you must manually set any preferences again and import any projects, such as message flow projects, that were displayed in the Broker Development view. To back up the .metadata directory, take a copy of the directory.

In the workspace, a directory exists for each project (message flow project, message set project, or server project) that you have created in the workbench. These directories contain your data, which you must back up.

Use one of the following methods to back up the data in your workspace:

If you want to restore the resources, copy the directories back into your workspace directory and import the projects. For instructions, see Importing in the Eclipse Workbench User Guide.
