[389-users] Backup Directory Server by db2bak.pl script

In docs redhat writes that this script creates a dynamic backup task. This
task will make the backup. In admin guide of DS they use this command as an
example:

https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Directory_Server/9.0/html/Administration_Guide/Populating_Directory_Databases-Backing_Up_and_Restoring_Data.html#Backing_Up_and_Restoring_Data-Backing_Up_All_Databases

Go down to section of using commandline to create full backup. In short
they go to slapd-instance directory and run script there. Without -a
parameter what I find interesting because they only give script one
parameter - the name of backup file.
