Tip: The Shares on Demand web UI and nginx service will still be
available while performing a backup.
Run the following script as a root user.
The script stops Shares on Demand services, backs up all
necessary files, and restarts Shares on Demand. You cannot use
this procedure with earlier versions of Shares on Demand.
# /opt/aspera/shares/u/setup/bin/backup /tmp

Make a note of the ID of the created backup directory for future use. In the
above example: 20130627025459.
