Hi: the link u provided mentioned similar :

9.2. RESTORING A BACKUP

If you have a directory with a backup created using

ipa-backup

, you can restore your IdM

server or the LDAP content to the state in which they were when the backup was

performed. You cannot restore a backup on a host different from the host on which the

backup was originally created


Is it meant if I clean install using same host name ( a total new host) and restore using the backup

it will fail right ?.. The disaster meant all hosts fail I need clean install the first host can I use the that restore method ?

Tried those command before ,,,seem the web page and LDAP separate or I missed some parts.
it can turn on the ldap but the web page not allow to login ...mostly it related to ?

Hi,

on which system do you have trouble accessing the web GUI? the master?
In this case, can you paste the exact command you ran for restore, and the exact error message you see when trying to authenticate to the web? The httpd error log may also be helpful (/var/log/httpd/error).

    Hi,

    yes, the doc explains how to restore in a multi-master environment:

             The full backup of a master with CA also contains the certs
        and the CA.

             HTH,
             Flo

                 is it possible to use very old vm image plus the
        regular ldif
                 backup recovery?

                      If you have a full backup of a master with a CA
        and have
                 saved it
                      off-machine and your machine dies then you can
        re-install
                 using the
                      EXACT SAME OPTIONS.

                      Then restore the backup. Then re-initialize all other
                 masters (this
                      should all be documented already).

                      If you have only one master with a CA and it dies
        and you
                 have no
                      backups then you are pretty much hosed at the moment.

                      IPA is so much more than just an LDIF.

                      _Could_ you use an LDIF to restore the data minus the
                 certs? Yeah,
                      probably, with a whole ton of work and expertise.
        Would it
                 be worth the
                      trouble and would you ever fully trust that you
        got it 100%
                 right?

                      The best solution is to maintain multiple masters
        and > 1
                 CA. If one
                      dies then you delete it and provision a new
        master. You can
                 maintain the
                      old name if you want.

                      Or if you use VMs you can use disk snapshots to
        maintain
                 backups.
