16.7 Using DSBK
dsbk
is a thin command line parser that performs the same operations as the Backup eMTool, but lets
you initiate a backup from the server console without having to log in first or set up Role-Based
Services (see
Chapter 20, “The eDirectory Management Toolbox,” on page 587
). It runs as NLM on
the NetWare server, script on Linux/Unix and a console utility on Windows, using the same
command line options as the Backup eMTool. This utility can also be used in scripting backups
using NCF files on The NetWare servers.
-r
dir_name
(Optional) Set roll-forward log directory
Changes the directory where the roll-forward logs are placed. For example, if
the command used was setconfig -r
vol2:\rfl
, a directory is created under
vol2:\rfl
and the roll-forward logs are placed in it.
This directory name is based on the name of the current eDirectory database.
For typical installs this is NDS, so the final directory name would be
vol2:\rfl\nds.rfl\
. If you renamed the eDirectory database from NDS
to ND1, the roll-forward log directory would be changed to
vol2:\rfl\nd1.rfl\
.
You can find out the current location by entering the getconfig command.
When you change the location, the new directory is created immediately, but a
roll-forward log is not created there until a transaction takes place in the
database.
IMPORTANT:
The backup tool has no way of tracking the changes to the roll-
forward log directory. When restoring the database, you must collect all roll-
forward logs and place them in one directory on the server.
For more information, see
Section 16.3, “Using Roll-Forward Logs,” on
page 437
.
-n
file_size
(Optional) Set minimum roll-forward log size
Sets the minimum size of the roll-forward log files (in bytes). When the
minimum size is reached, the database starts a new roll-forward log after the
current transaction is finished.
-m
file_size
(Optional) Set maximum roll-forward log size
Sets the maximum size for the roll-forward log files (in bytes). If this limit is
reached and a transaction is in progress, the transaction is continued over
into the next file. This setting must always be larger than the minimum size.
-s
(Optional) Start a new roll-forward log
Starts a new roll-forward log at the end of the current transaction. The new file
is created at the beginning of the next transaction.
cancel
Cancels any running backup or restore operation. No options are needed.

This option is not applicable to
