4.3.3.2. Restoring Your Database from the Command-Line
Restore databases from the command-line by using the following scripts:
• Using the
bak2db
command-line script. This script requires the server to be shut down.
• Using the
bak2db.pl
Perl script. This script works while the server is running.
4.3.3.2.1. Using the bak2db Command-Line Script
To restore the directory from the command-line, do the following:
1. If the Directory Server is running, stop it:
2
service dirsrv stop instance
2. Open the Directory Server instance directory:
cd /usr/lib/dirsrv/slapd- instance_name
3. Run the
bak2db
command-line script. The
bak2db
script requires the full path and name of the
input file.
bak2db /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd- instance_name /bak/ instance_name -2007_04_30_11_48_30
For more information about using this script, see the
