• Restore Using Backup eMTool:
The server-specific information can only be restored using
the Backup eMTool.
14.9 Recovering the Database If Restore
Verification Fails
The restore process includes a verification step, which compares the eDirectory database on the
server being restored to other servers in the replica ring by comparing the transitive vectors. (For
more information on the restore process, see
“Overview of How the Backup eMTool Does a
Restore” on page 380
and
“Transitive Vectors and the Restore Verification Process” on page 387
.)
If the transitive vectors do not match, the verification fails. This usually indicates that data is
missing from the files you used for the restore. For example, data might be missing for the following
reasons:
• You did not turn on roll-forward logging before the last backup was performed.
• You did not include the roll-forward logs in the restore.
• The set of roll-forward logs you provided for the restore was not complete.
NOTE:
Another issue that causes the restore verification to fail is participating in a replica ring with
a server running a version of eDirectory that is earlier than 8.5. For more information on this
situation and what you might be able to do, see
“Restore Verification Is Backward Compatible Only
with eDirectory 8.5 or Later” on page 388
.
By default the restored eDirectory database will not open after the restore if it is inconsistent with
the other replicas.
If you have all the backup files and roll-forward logs necessary for a complete restore but forgot to
provide all of them during the process, you can simply run the restore again with a complete set of
files. If the restore is complete on a second try, the verification can succeed and the restored database
will open.
ssiback.ini
A text file containing the path where the
ssiback.bak
file is located. Default
backup file location is
sys:system
.
For example:
vol1:/backups/ssibackup.bak
.
sys:system
ssiback.log
A high-level view containing information
about previous backups. The log file
contains a history of all backups,
records backup start time and end time,
and contains information about possible
errors during the backup process.
