Thanks Charles. Out IPA is a VM too on Openstack but for some reasons they
said it's not good to take snapshots and rely on that for backups... I ll
investigate further tho... cause my idea was exactly that. Snapshots!!!!
Thanks for sharing.

Our IPA servers are VMs. We do backups of snapshots, either through
VMware
or when the image is on a Netapp, through a Netapp snapshot. That
guarantees that you have all the pieces in a consistent state. I’ve never
had to restore a production server, but I have started copies of one of the
backups to do experiments that I didn’t want to do on a production system.
I’ve never had an issue starting from a backup, though I need to do some
changes so the system thinks it has the same hostname as the original one.

Hi all.
What's the best procedure/practice to periodically perform a backup on a
single freeipa server with CA?
Cheers
