[Freeipa-users] Backup and Restore procedures for IPA 2.2.0?

[Steven Jones]

Hi,

As in a backup software client that can talk to the IPA instance?  Im not aware of one.

What I do is dump a userroot to ldif every so often....before and after I do patching or any significant change....I do so on at least 2 of the 3 IPA masters with,

/var/lib/dirsrv/scripts-ODS-VUW-AC-NZ/db2ldif.pl -D "cn=directory manager" -w - -n userroot -a /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-ODS-VUW-AC-NZ/bak/userroot.`/bin/date +%Y%m%d%H%M`.ldif

I have recovered using this as well.

(oh joy!)

I also have a proven method to swap CA cert function to another server ie promote a replica, I actually did it 3 weeks ago!

Hi all,

  Is the backup and restore procedure for IPA available now? It's rumored months back that some one was working on it but not sure what is the progress on it. Please shed a light if you have any ideas.

 I'm running the default latest 2.2.0 IPA on Redhat/Centos 6.3.

Thanks.
David
