• Allows unattended backups.
You can create batch files to run unattended backups through the
eMBox Client.
The new eDirectory Backup eMTool is designed to give you a complete backup and restore of the
database and associated files on an individual server. It does not support backup and restore for
individual objects or sections of the tree.
Also, it must be used in conjunction with file system backups to put the eDirectory backup files
safely on tape.

14.1 Checklist for Backing Up eDirectory
To make sure objects in a multiple-server tree are accessible even if a server is
down:
For multiple-server trees, ensure that all eDirectory partitions are replicated on more than one
server, for fault tolerance.
For information on creating replicas, see
“Adding a Replica” on page 133
.
To allow a quick and complete restore of individual servers (such as after a hardware
failure):
Do a full backup of the eDirectory database regularly (such as weekly).
Do an incremental backup regularly (such as nightly).
Do full and incremental tape backups of the file system shortly after full or incremental
eDirectory database backups are completed.
Backup eMTool writes the backup files to a directory you specify on the server, but has no way
of placing the data directly to tape. File system backup should be set to run after the eDirectory
backup has run, to place the database backup files on tape for safe storage.
Turn on and configure roll-forward logging, if it's necessary in your environment.
You must turn on roll-forward logging for servers that participate in a replica ring. If you don't,
when you try to restore from your backup files you will get errors and the database will not
