Before performing backup and restore tasks, review
Section 16.1, “Checklist for Backing Up
eDirectory,” on page 423
for an overview of the issues involved in planning an effective eDirectory
backup strategy.

16.5.1 Backing Up Manually with iManager
Use Backup in iManager in a browser to back up data from an eDirectory database to one or more
files on the server where the backup is being performed. You can do a full or incremental backup.
The backup files contain information necessary to restore eDirectory to the state it was in at the time
of the backup. The results of the backup process are written to the log file you specify.
Backups performed using iManager are hot continuous backups, meaning that the eDirectory
database is open and accessible during the process, and you still get a complete backup that is a
snapshot of the moment when the backup began.
Keep in mind that to do a cold backup (a backup with the database closed) or an unattended backup
you must use the eMBox Client. See
“Backing Up Manually with the eMBox Client” on page 454
and
“Doing Unattended Backups, Using a Batch File with the eMBox Client” on page 457
.
Before performing backup and restore tasks, review
Section 16.1, “Checklist for Backing Up
eDirectory,” on page 423
for an overview of the issues involved in planning an effective eDirectory
backup strategy.
Prerequisites
Decide which additional files you want to back up along with eDirectory and create an include
file if necessary.
You can back up NICI files and stream files by checking the check boxes for those options in
iManager. We recommend that you always back up NICI files.
If you want to include other files, such as the autoexec.ncf file, you must put the paths and
filenames in an include file. Separate the paths and filenames with a semicolon and don't
include hard returns or spaces. (For example,
sys:\system\autoexec.ncf;sys:\etc\hosts;
)
Plan to do a file system backup shortly after doing the eDirectory backup, if you need to place
the eDirectory backup files safely on tape. (The Backup eMTool only places them on the
server.)
TIP:
To make it easier to move the backup files to another storage device, you can specify the
maximum size of eDirectory backup files. You can also use a third-party file compression tool
on the files after they are created. They compress approximately 80%.
If you are planning to use roll-forward logs for this server, make sure they are turned on before
a backup is made.
