I am using Openfire as collaboration software in Windows Server 2008 R2 Domain.



Today I am planning to install Elastix 2.3 on my Hyper-V server for VoIP implementation that Elastix has built-in openfire server.



Is there any solution to backup the Windows version of Openfire and restore it on Elastix?

  • Last time I checked OpenFire used some built-in Java database system. That one could be ported to other systems back then. It was about 304 years ago, however.

  • Do you use the openfire embedded db? If it's a large organization it might be worth migrating to a MySQL db for greater flexibility.

Openfire is great software!



Try installing the "User Import Export" plugin from the Plugins tab (under Available Plugins). Then go to your Users/Groups tab and you will notice the new "Import & Export" option. Reverse on the new system and hopefully that will make the migration easier!



BTW: the embedded database is HSQL and uses the connection string:



jdbc:hsqldb:/opt/openfire/embedded-db/openfire 


if you have a little java know-how, you could connect to the same database and write a script to export the data to whatever format you prefer then insert to your MySQL database. The schema should be the same on both databases (I think!).
