ndsbackup
Purpose
Use as at the HP-UX prompt to back up the master replicas on a NetWare
server.
This is a disaster-recover utility and should not be used as the primary
backup for your master replicas. You should use this utility only as a
precaution in case your system experiences a major catastrophe that destroys
all replicas.
For your primary backup procedure, we recommend that you create at least
two replicas of each master and store them on other servers.
Syntax
ndsbackup [-l] -o filename [-v]
Using ndsbackup
This command does not back up all NetWare Directory Services (NDS)
information. For example, it cannot back up the following:
• System, schema, bindery, and external reference partitions
• Read/Write and Read Only replicas
• The entire Directory tree (unless it resides on the NetWare server as master
replicas)
Option Use to
-l List all the master replicas on the server.
-o filename Back up all the master replicas on the server to the file or
device specified with filename.
-v Print out the objects that are backed up (verbose).
