Server Utilities
ndsrestore
ndsrestore
Purpose
Use at the HP-UX prompt to restore the master replicas on a NetWare server
that were backed up with ndsbackup.
WARNING: You should use this utility only as a last resort for restoring master replicas.
Keep sufficient backup copies of your master replicas on other servers so you
need to use this utility only as a disaster-recovery tool.
Note that you can change a non-master replica into a master and then create a
replica on the system. For more information, see “Changing a Replica’s Type”
in Supervising the Network.
Syntax
ndsrestore -i filename [-v]
Using ndsrestore
This command does not restore all NetWare Directory Services (NDS)
information. For example, it does not restore 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
-i filename Restore all the master replicas to the server from the file
or device specified with filename.
-v Print out the objects that are backed up (verbose).
