[Freeipa-users] Backup and Restoration of IPA Server

[Steven Jones]

Hi,

The problem I had with snapshots is I found if snapshoting hot they got confused and the users all doubled on some replicas, on others replication broke...very weird...

So snapshot cold.

For redundancy we recommend running several replicas so that if you
loose one you can easily redeploy.
It you want, you can run one of the replicas in a VM and take snapshots
of the whole system.

A more fine grained Backup/Restore procedure is on the roadmap for the
next release.
