-w
(Optional) Overwrite existing backup file of same name
Overwrites the backup file specified with the -f switch if a file of the same
name already exists. If this option is not used and a file of the same name
already exists, in interactive mode the Backup eMTool will ask you whether to
overwrite or not. In batch mode, if a file of the same name exists and -w is not
specified, the default behavior is to not overwrite the file, so a backup will not
be created.
If you are making a file system backup shortly after each full or incremental
backup of eDirectory, your previous backup files should have been copied
from the server to file system backup tapes, so it should be safe to use this
option to overwrite the existing backup file.
IMPORTANT:
Use this option in your batch files for unattended backups. If a
backup file of the same name exists (this is likely if you use the same batch
file regularly), it's important to use the -w option to overwrite the existing
backup file to make sure your backup is successful.
In batch mode, if -w is not specified and a file of the same name exists, the
default behavior is to not overwrite the file, so a backup will not be created. (In
interactive mode, if -w is not specified, the eMBox Client will ask you whether
you want to overwrite the file.)
-c
(Optional) Perform a cold backup
Performs a full backup of the database, but closes the database before the
backup. After the backup has completed, the database reopens unless the -o
or -o and -d switches are used.
-o
(Optional) Leave database closed after cold backup
Can be used only if the -c switch is also used. Leaves the database closed
after a cold backup. This option is helpful when upgrading hardware or
moving a server to a new machine with the same operating system (as
described in
Section 16.6, “Upgrading Hardware or Replacing a Server,” on
page 512
).
-d
(Optional) Disable DS agent after a cold backup
Can be used only if both the -c and -o switches are also used. Disables the
DS agent after a cold backup. This option is helpful when upgrading hardware
or moving a server to a new machine with the same operating system (as
described in
Section 16.6, “Upgrading Hardware or Replacing a Server,” on
page 512
).
The DS agent is disabled by setting the login disabled attribute on the pseudo
server. This results in a -663 error when eDirectory starts.
restore
Perform a restore of the database and associated files.
-f
file_name
(Mandatory) Backup filename and path
Specifies which full backup to restore from. This file must be located on the
server being restored. For example, restore -f
vol1:/backup/ndsbak.bak
will restore from the file
vol1:/backup/ndsbak.bak
.
If the backup was made up of more than one file, all the files in the set must
be copied into the same directory on the server.
