Blueriq Studio has an internal repository. When installing Blueriq Studio a default repository is provided with an initial content to start using Blueriq Studio.
An already existing repository-backup can replace the default repository. The repository is found in the [Blueriq Installation directory]\Studio\Repository directory and is called Repository.sdf.
The Repository.sdf file contains all Blueriq repositories that are present in Studio.

backups
To create a backup of all Studio data, two options exist: the Blueriq Repository Backup tool, which can be scheduled, or a manual download from the administration page.
Option 1: Blueriq Backup Tool
To backup all relevant content that is stored by Blueriq Studio, the Management Service has a SOAP operation to duplicate its data storage to a single file on disk. For typical automated backup strategies it is cumbersome to interact with a SOAP service, therefore Blueriq provides a tool that can be run from a batch/bash script to perform this operation.
The backup tool is included in the installation zip, and can be run using the following parameters:
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
java -jar blueriq-repository-backup.jar backup --studioUrl=http://studio.server:90/Studio/Server/Services/ManagementService --username=user --password=password --path=backup/path/repository.zip |
Please note that the provided path is in terms of the machine where Studio is installed on, not on the machine the tool is run from.
Info | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
The backup tool requires Java 11. |
It is recommended that the file that is created by running the tool is not considered as primary backup, but replicated on a different machine and that backups from multiple days are retained! As such, we strongly advise to copy the resulting file somewhere safe and to avoid overwriting the backup of the prior day.
Option 2: Download from the administration page
- Open the administration page from the welcome page and open the “Repository” tab.
- Click on “Create Backup” and save the file to a backup location.

Restoring backups
Only backups created from the same or older versions of Blueriq Studio can be restored. If a backup of an older version is restored the repository is automatically upgraded by Blueriq Studio.
Option 1: Blueriq Backup Tool
The backup tool as mentioned above can also be used to restore a backup using the following parameters:
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
java -jar blueriq-repository-backup.jar restore --studioUrl=http://studio.server:90/Studio/Server/Services/ManagementService --username=user --password=password --path=backup/path/repository.zip |
