The roll-forward logs you need might not all be in the same location at the time you want to use
them for a restore, so you need to make sure you have collected a complete set and placed them
all in the same directory. The roll-forward logs might be in multiple locations for the following
reasons:
• You have changed the location of the roll-forward logs directory since the last full or
incremental backup.
• You have backed them up to tape using file system backup and then have removed them
from the server, to save disk space.
If you need to retrieve any of the roll-forward logs from tape backup, make sure you have
the most current set. You must compare time stamps for any files that are duplicated on the
tape and on the server. The roll-forward log file that was in use by the database during the
time of the file system backup will be incomplete on the tape; the latest and complete
version of that file will be on the server.
• You have changed the name of the eDirectory database since the last backup (such as from
NDS to ND1). This changes the last directory name in the path to the roll-forward logs.
For example, if the location you specified was
d:\novell\nds\dibfiles\
, and the
name of your eDirectory database was NDS, the location of the roll-forward logs would be
d:\novell\nds\dibfiles\nds.rfl\
. If you renamed the database from NDS to
ND1, the roll-forward log directory would change to
d:\novell\nds\dibfiles\nd1.rfl\
.
IMPORTANT:
You must ensure that you provide all the necessary roll-forward logs. The
Backup eMTool cannot tell whether your set of roll-forward logs is complete. It will open and
use the roll-forward logs in order. When it cannot find the next roll-forward log in the directory
you specified, it ends the restore process. If you have not provided all the necessary roll-
forward logs, the restore will be incomplete.
14.5 Using Novell iManager for Backup and
Restore
The Backup, Backup Configuration, and Restore tasks in Novell iManager give you access to most
of the features of the eDirectory Backup eMTool, and iManager lets you perform tasks on your
servers in a browser even if you are outside the firewall. For more information about Novell
iManager, see the
Novell iManager 2.5 Administration Guide
(http://www.novell.com/
documentation/imanager25/index.html)
.
The tasks that are not available in iManager are cold backup (a full backup with the database
closed), unattended backup, and advanced restore options. These tasks must be done using the
eMBox Client, as described in
Section 14.6, “Using the eMBox Client for Backup and Restore,” on
page 404
.
Before performing backup and restore tasks, review
Section 14.1, “Checklist for Backing Up
eDirectory,” on page 374
for an overview of the issues involved in planning an effective eDirectory
backup strategy.
