LDAP Backup and Restore

You can backup your data without stopping the server using:

/opt/OpenDJ/bin/backup -a -c -d /tmp/dir_to_backup

Note that the example above uses /tmp for the backup; however, we recommend you use a mounted disk, SAN or NAS to store your backup.

To restore the latest backup, you must first stop the LDAP service:

service OpenDJ stop

Then run the restore:

/opt/OpenDJ/bin/restore -d /tmp/dir_to_backup/userRoot
/opt/OpenDJ/bin/restore -d /tmp/dir_to_backup/tasks
/opt/OpenDJ/bin/restore -d /tmp/dir_to_backup/config
/opt/OpenDJ/bin/restore -d /tmp/dir_to_backup/schema

To restart the LDAP service:

service OpenDJ start
