DSBK HELP
To get help on a specific function type "help <function name>"
Current functions:
backup
restore
restadv
getconfig
setconfig
cancel
Using the command
dsbk help<commandname>
, the command options are identical to the
NetWare platform. By setting up
dsbk
, commands can be entered into a crontab to execute
dsbk
getconfig
and
dsbk backup
commands on a regular basis, allowing for full backups once
weekly and incrementals on the other days, or whatever combinations are desired.
TIP:
When using the
dsbk
utility interactively, have a second terminal window open with
tail -f
<instance specific ndsd.log>
running so that the output to the entered commands is
immediately readable.
Once the backup is completed, back it up using standard filesystem backup utilities.
NOTE:
For detailed information on dsbk command line options, refer to the
Section 16.6.5,
“Backup and Restore Command Line Options,” on page 465
.
16.7.3 Using dsbk on Windows
In this section we will discuss the basic operation of the
dsbk
utility on the Windows platform.
For using
dsbk
on a Windows server that hosts eDirectory, perform the following steps:
1
Invoke the utility through the
Novell eDirectory Services
console.
dsbk.dlm
will be one of the
options available in the list of services in the Services tab. The
dsbk
subcommand and any
parameters for that subcommand are specified in the
Startup Parameters
field.
2
View the current configuration for the backup using the getconfig switch. The output of all the
dsbk commands is appended to the file c:\novell\nds\backup.out. This location is always used
for Windows installations, regardless of the path where eDirectory is installed or the location of
the eDirectory configuration files.
3
Set a custom location for the roll-forward logs to be created using the following:
setconfig -r <roll forward log directory> -L
The -L option starts a new roll forward logging session.
4
Start backup on the tree by giving the following command:
backup -f <backup file> -l <logfile> -t -w -b
-t takes the backup of stream files
-w overwrites any existing backup file with same name
-b performs a full backup
For example, start the backup as follows:
backup -f c:\dsbk.bak -l c:\backup.log -t -w -b
You can confirm the status of the backup done in the backup.out file.
