> Currently, there is no disaster recovery or backup information.
There are a couple of RFEs open to develop this information. My
understanding (and this is something that <br>> Dmitri or one of the
engineers can explain better) is that the best thing to do is to
back up the DS instances using db2ldif and then spin up a new
server/replica instance and <br>> import the backed up data using ldif2db.<br>
<br>Thanks for pointing out a way to do partial backup/restore.<br><br>But the command db2ldif, or its sibling command ldif2db can not be located on IPA master/replica. The IPA servers only install 389-ds-base and 389-ds-base-libs RPMs. and the two commands doesn't show up anywhere. <br><br>Could anyone elaborate how to use the two template commands, or please point me to the document or http link(s) is enough. Thanks a lot.<br><br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">[root@ipamaster script-templates]# rpm -qa | grep 389<br>389-ds-base-1.2.9.14-1.el6_2.2.x86_64<br>389-ds-base-libs-1.2.9.14-1.el6_2.2.x86_64<br><br>[root@ipamaster script-templates]# rpm -ql 389-ds-base 389-ds-base-libs | grep -P 'db2ldif|ldif2db'<br>/usr/share/dirsrv/script-templates/template-db2ldif<br>/usr/share/dirsrv/script-templates/template-db2ldif.pl<br>/usr/share/dirsrv/script-templates/template-ldif2db<br>/usr/share/dirsrv/script-templates/template-ldif2db.pl<br>[root@ipamaster
