Re: [Fedora-directory-users] backup/dump--restore/import
I use both, db2ldif and db2bak to backup our directory database. Very, very
simple usage:
LOGFILE=/var/log/DSBackup.log
/opt/fedora-ds/slapd-infra1/db2ldif -n netscaperoot > $LOGFILE 2>&1
/opt/fedora-ds/slapd-infra1/db2ldif -n userRoot >> $LOGFILE 2>&1
/opt/fedora-ds/slapd-infra1/db2bak >> $LOGFILE 2>&1

Backup/Restore: Creates / restores from a copy of the server''s binary database files. Export/Import: Creates / imports from ASCII text LDIF files representing the data in the directory server. It''s actually a good idea to do both (if possible), as this will give you the most flexibility when you''re in the heat of a restore. http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/ag/7.1/dbmanage.html#1055147> I get error 53 (failed to read the backup file set)Is the backup file set still there?

Re: [Fedora-directory-users] Re: backup/dump--restore/import
Thanks Richard and George,
Here is what I have tired:
I tried restoring from both:
1. Export/Import from ldif file:
backup all the subtrees and get a lot of rejects on this restore
2. Backup/Restore:
Backup creates a directory of my choosing with 2 ldif files
and 3 subderectories:
userRoot NetscapeRoot and one more subdir for my app
all 3 subdirs have db4 files
Restoring: if I specify the top leve back directory (same as I use
during backup process) I get error 53 (cannot read dir)
Restore will take 3 subdirectires (netacpre root or userRoot) and will run
OK. but then it stops working, you can not log in or on restart admin server
would not start.

This is beyond bad: Here is what I did now: I copied my backup dir into: serverRoot/slapd-serverID/bak/backup_name So when you click retore button it actually find the name of back and directory and yet it will produce error53 (failed to read the backup file set from....)

Re: [Fedora-directory-users] Re: backup/dump--restore/import
db2bak (binary backup) is pretty specific to the machine on which it was created. At least a few dependencies: - architecture of the machine (e.g., sparc to intel, or 32 to 64 bit). - hostname is sprinkled throughout o=NetscapeRoot. - index and other configuration in the server''s cn=config. Unless you''re restoring on an identical machine with identical directory server configuration, I would expect quirks when attempting what you''ve described. On the bright side, since it does work on the new server, it sounds like you''ve isolated the problem to something with the original server. What happens when you create a fresh new directory server instance on the original, and try to backup and restore that instance?

Hmm... If you mean your production server can''t be restored from any of your backups, it might be worth it to give RedHat a call and book some professional services to assist in the recovery.

Re: [Fedora-directory-users] Re: backup/dump--restore/import
DR is disaster recovery. Copy is OK...I tar the file and sftp to the server. backup/restore work ok from CLI for me too, but only if backup is done of the original server and resotre is done on the same server. Tring taking backup of server A and restore it to vanilly server B does not. Will that work for anyone?
