4.2.1 Exporting directory data to LDIF using the console
Some of or all directory data can be exported to LDIF, depending upon the location of the final
exported file. When the LDIF file is on the server, only the data contained by the databases local
to the server can be exported. If the LDIF file is remote to the server, all the databases and database
links can be exported.
Export directory data to LDIF from the Directory Server Console while the server is running,
and do the following:
1. Select the Tasks tab. Scroll to the bottom of the screen, and click Export Database(s).
