web contents management
The term appered in a documents about web-based service. Seems to be a specialist term and the writer says the term means to "manage downtime". Though コンテンツのふた appered in my dictionary as "contents guard", I am not sure if it is the right translation. Your help is much appriciated

protect content (data) or "locking down the data"
Just a guess -
Based on the comments, I would guess it has something to do with protecting the data -- "locking down the data" during outages. One has to be especially careful and ensure the network is as secure as you think it is when performing maintenance or dealing with failures of border firewalls or that sort of thing.

Based on the asker\'s new comments, it is evident that this terminology just means to take the server down in a way that does not surprise the users. Off the top of my head I would say \'take the data offline gracefully\' or \'provide offline notification\' or something like that. I don\'t think there is a 1:1 translation for this term. With regards to Philr\'s answer, I have never heard it referred to as \'capping\'.
In my company, when a access to a database has to be shut for offline backup, we do switch out the index page or logon page URLs with \'down for backup\' or other notification messages to the end users. The user doesn\'t get access to the data, but gets information to assure them that it is an intentional shutdown of the resouce.
Sometimes it\'s referred to as a soft shutdown instead of a hard shutdown which might be caused through a hardware failure.

content capping
I think ふたしめ means 蓋を閉めること, or "capping" in English. But I can't find any references to back this up.
It would help if you could show this term in a bit more context.
