I run a couple of OS X servers and when I had Panther server on the boxes, I took them downonce a month and ran CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner) to dupe the boot drive to another drive in the XServe unit (making the backup clone bootable). Worked fine.

When I upgraded one of the boxes to Tiger the upgrade made a real mess of things (I had a defective 2nd CD in the 3 disk set I rec’d via Software Update plan)…thought I was hosed until I pulled out the CCC’d copy from a week earlier, pulled out the boot drive my failed upgrade had just trashed, moved the CCC’d copy over to the first slot and press the on/off switch…up came my panther server…wondering I guess where it had lost a week but otherwise just fine.

For tiger, it’s a bit more trouble since CCC hasn’t put out a version verified for Tiger.

Oh, I run DSpace and Postgres and Apache on the server that I restored via a clone so that sounds a bit like your setup.

found the answer…just coming back here to close the loop in case it comes up again for another user.

To increase memory for JBOSS, modify run.conf
(/Library/JBOSS/3.2/bin/run.conf) and change the Xmx100 to whatever (e.g., Xmx256M)

#
# The Java VM to use. 1.4.2 or higher
#
JAVA=/usr/bin/java

#
# Specify options to pass to the Java VM.
#
# Don’t change the JBoss temp.dir setting
JAVA_OPTS="-server -Xmx100M $JAVA_OPTS -Djboss.server.temp.dir=$JBOSSTMPDIR"
