Backing up Jazz.
Currently I am backing up my Jazz repository every night by exporting the repository using a cron job that kicks off the repotools. Currently this is working very nicely. I chose this method because I may need to load a backup that is old and from a previous milestone. Will exporting a Jazz repository while it is still running cause corruption in the repository?

Aaron,
Running a live export will NOT corrupt the database but the data present in the exported tar might not be consistent. We are working on an incremental migration story that will allow you to export / import increments. (See bug 33204. ) btw: Is there a reason you are using the repotools to backup the db instead of db2 backup command to backup your DB2 database (On Derby, you can zip the contents of the derby directory).

The reason I am using repotools instead of the db2 backup command is for the use-case where I want to look at a backup that is a month or two old, I don't want to restore a database that may be from the last milestone. If I use repotools, repotools imports the data and supports an export from the last milestone.
