[389-users] Backing up our 389-DS

[harry.devine at faa.gov]

Ahh, now I see it.  It is in /usr/lib64/dirsrv/slapd-<instance>.  Which 
would you recommend to use in our situation?  db2ldif or db2bak?

Thanks for the quick response!

We had an incident today using the 389-console GUI where our groups were 
inadvertently deleted.  We are in the process of recreating them (not too 
bad, just tedious).  I am looking at finding a way to back up our data 
periodically so should this happen again, we can restore from backup.  I 
see online a script called db2ldif.pl.  However, I can't find that 
anywhere on our installation. 
?  Where did you look?

1) We are using 389-ds version 1.2.1 on CentOS 5.7 x64.  Where can I get 
this script? 

It comes with the software.

2) If this is not the best way to do this, what IS the proper way to 
backup our data?  We are replicating to another server, but once that 
groups were gone, that replicated to the other server and now BOTH were 
toast. 
or db2bak.pl


Thanks for any tips!
