dsbackup
dsbackup — Backup and restore backends
Options
The dsbackup command takes the following options:
Utility input/output options:
--no-prompt-
Use non-interactive mode. If data in the command is missing, the user is not prompted and the tool will fail. Default: false
--noPropertiesFile-
No properties file will be used to get default command line argument values. Default: false
--propertiesFilePath {propertiesFilePath}-
Path to the file containing default property values used for command line arguments.
General options:
-V | --version-
Display Directory Server version information. Default: false
-H | --help-
Display this usage information. Default: false
Subcommands
The dsbackup command supports the following subcommands:
dsbackup create
dsbackup create {options}
Take encrypted and signed backups of individual backends and send them to the desired location.
Options
In addition to the global dsbackup options, the dsbackup create subcommand takes the following options:
SubCommand Options:
-d | --backupLocation {backup location}-
Backup file-system path or URI for alternative storage mechanisms. File-system paths may be expressed as absolute or relative paths and are resolved relative to the current working directory when the tool is run in offline mode, or relative to the server instance directory when the tool is run in task mode. Read the documentation for further information regarding alternative backup storage mechanisms.
-n | --backendName {backendName}-
The name of the backend to back up. Specify this option multiple times to backup multiple backends or skip this option to backup all the enabled backends that support backups.
--offline-
Indicates that the command will operate independently of the server process. It will run regardless of whether the server is started or stopped. When using this option with the restore sub-command, the server must be stopped; also as the command will write to server files, you should run the command as a user having the same filesystem permissions as the user running the server. Using this option with the create sub-command when the server is running is possible and supported. With JE Backends, the integrity of the backup is ensured by the process. With LDIF backends, avoid simultaneous changes to the backends. Default: false
--storageProperty {PROP:VALUE}-
Assigns a value to a storage property where PROP is the name of the property and VALUE is the single value to be assigned. Specify the same property multiple times in order to assign more than one value to it.
