db2bak.pl - Directory Server perl script for creating a backup
db2bak.pl [-Z serverID] [-D rootdn] { -w password | -w - | -j
filename } [-t dbtype] [-a backupdir] [-A backupdir] [-P protocol] [-h]
Creates a backup of the Directory Server database. The Directory
Server must be started prior to running this script.
A summary of options is included below:
- -Z Server
Identifier
- The server ID of the Directory Server instance. If there is only one
instance on the system, this option can be skipped.
- -D Root
DN
- The Directory Manager DN, or root DN. If not specified, the script will
search the server instance configuration for the value.
- -w
password
- The rootdn password.
- -w -
-
Prompt for the rootdn password.
- -j password
filename
- The name of the file that contains the root DN password.
- -t database
type
- The backend database type (default: ldbm database).
- -a
backupdir
- The directory where the backup should be stored. This directory is a
symbolic link to the actual backup files located under
"nsslapd-bakdir" directory that is set in the
"cn=config" entry.
- -A
backupdir
- This is similar to -a, except that a sub-directory of
backupdir will be created for the backup, and the name of the
sub-directory will be a timestamp of the form
server-instance-date_time.
- -P
Protocol
- The connection protocol to connect to the Directory Server. Protocols are
STARTTLS, LDAPS, LDAPI, and LDAP. If this option is skipped, the most
secure protocol that is available is used. For LDAPI, AUTOBIND is also
available for the root user.
- -h
-
Display usage
Exit status is zero if no errors occur. Errors result in a
non-zero exit status and a diagnostic message being written to standard
error.
