Backups & restore CQ files

-------------------------------------
AEM provide online & offline backups.
Online:Online method creates a backup of the entire repository, including CQ5. We can perform this method while the repository is in use.
Offline:Creates a backup of the CRX repository files including all of the information stored in CRX, so you can restore the exact state of the repository during backup.
Also incremental so it updates only next day components to backup.

if(navRootPage != null){
Iterator<Page> children = navRootPage.listChildren(new PageFilter(request));
    %><ul><%
while(children.hasNext()){
    Page child = children.next();
