backup and restore options for GAE/J

I know that utilities for backup and restore are in the GAE future roadmap, but until then I need to do some backup/restore operations on the data store of my GAE/J application. I found some info on how to enable the remote API for GAE/J applications by setting up the RemoteServlet in the application's web.xml and then you should be able to use the bulkloader.py tool from the python sdk to do backup/restore operation on the datastore of a GAE/J app (see here). I've added the remote API servlet in the web.xml, deployed it and the remote API seems to be active since I get the "This request did not contain a necessary header" message in the browser. However when trying to use the bulkloader.py tool with the remote url and my developer credentials, I get an message from the python tool: URLError: (urlopen error (10060, 'Operation timed out')) with the Authentication Failed info mes开发者_开发百科sage. Did any one encountered this problem and managed to solve it? Some pointers would be very much appreciated.

Thanks, Mihai

I found the problem. It was the company proxy, so I requested the URL of my app be removed from the proxy.

Have you tried GAEBAR
