[Freeipa-users] backing up and restoring the backend

[Steven Jones]

Hi,

A replica does not survive an internal corruption....surely you would just duplicate the corruption?......unless you are telling me there is a way to avoid that with replication alone?

So for me its like Raiding disks.....a tape backup survives a data corruption and isnt really there for a hardware failure....call my paranoid but a tape (OK, I now have a virtual tape library) has saved my ass often enough that want them.

regards

Why not just create a replica? Saves you the restore part at least..
