Backing up squid cache and restoring it

[Arne-Tobias Rak <arne-tobias.rak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

my goal is to restore a previous cache state in squid 3.x running on Ubuntu 16.04.

So far I have tried to create a copy of the /var/spool/squid and /var/log/squid folders.
When restoring the cache, I first shutdown squid using
sudo squid -k shutdown
sudo service squid stop -k
and then restore the previously copied folder contents. I then start squid again using
sudo service squid start.

Unfortunately, this does not restore the previous cache contents, as the spool/squid/swap.state
file is modified during squid startup.

Thanks in advance!
Arne
