2 Enter the following command to back up the Object Store:
# zlm_ndsbackup.sh -U admin.system
3 Enter the password to authenticate to the Object Store.
This is the password for the ZENworks Administrator account.
You can also automate the backup process by using the
# zlm_ndsbackup.sh -U
admin.system -P authentication_password_to_the_object_store
command.
4 Enter the following command to take a full backup of the eDirectory DIB:
# zlm_ndsbackup.sh -U admin.system -B
IMPORTANT: The Object Store backup and the full backup of eDirectory must run separately,
either manually or through a cron job. This is because the backup files need to be created with
different time stamps to save them as different files.
The backup program creates a directory in
/var/opt/novell/zenworks/backup/nds/ month-
yyyy/yyyy-mm-dd
. The directory name is the date on which the backup is taken. The backup files
are saved in this directory. The name of the backup file has the format timestamp -backup, and the
time stamp indicates the time when the backup was taken. For example:
/var/opt/novell/zenworks/backup/nds/August-2005/2005-08-23/10:12:23-backup
The log information about the backup operation is saved to
/var/opt/novell/log/zenworks/
ndsbackup.log
.
9.1.2 Restoring the ZENworks Object Store
The
zlm_ndsrestore.sh
allows you to restore both the ZENworks Object Store backup and the
full backup of the eDirectory DIB.
1
Make sure you are logged in as root to the ZENworks Server.
2 Enter the following command to restore the Object Store:
zlm_ndsrestore.sh -U admin.system -F path_to_the_backup_file
Make sure that the -F option includes the backup file's complete path.
3 Enter the password to authenticate to the Object Store.
This is the password for the ZENworks Administrator account.
4
Enter the following command to restore the full backup of eDirectory:
# zlm_ndsbackup.sh -U admin.system -F path_to_the_backup_file -B
5
After the restore operation is complete, you need to ensure that the Data Store is synchronized
with the Object Store. For instructions, see
Section 9.4, “Synchronizing the Object Store and
Data Store,” on page 98 .
The log information about the restore operation is saved to
/var/opt/novell/log/zenworks/
ndsrestore.log
.
