Goal

The goal is to provide information on listing backend suffix which can be backed up, how to backup and restore and other useful tips/hints.

OUD 12.2.1.4 Administration Guide - Chapter 18 - Managing Directory Data

Section: Importing and Exporting Data
Section: Backing Up and Restoring Data 


This document speaks specifically to the above goal, however other options could be using the "tar" command (or similar on other OS platforms) or export-ldif which can be used prior to a replication setup or patching process.

1. Stopping the servers and taking a tar backup of the entire instance $OUD_INSTANCE folder/directory, is safe to restore.

NOTE *** Oracle is not responsible for instructions/information from 3rd party sites that may be contained in this KM note. The details provided here are information only.

2. The export-ldif command can be used to have a complete ldap data backup for each backend, with each saved in separate ldif file.

These methods could help in cases where a restore is not possible, or due to a corruption of the backup/restore.
