[Fedora-directory-users] Re: backup/dump--restore/import

[George Holbert]

Backup/Restore:  Creates / restores from a copy of the server's binary 
database files.
Export/Import:  Creates / imports from ASCII text LDIF files 
representing the data in the directory server.

It's actually a good idea to do both (if possible), as this will give 
you the most flexibility when you're in the heat of a restore.
