2.3.14.4 cn=backup,cn=tasks,cn=config
A database can be backed up through the command line by creating a special task entry which
defines the parameters of the task and initiates the task. As soon as the task is complete, the task
entry it removed from the directory.
The cn=backup entry is a container entry for backup task operations. The cn=backup entry
itself has no attributes, but each of the task entries within this entry, such as cn=task_ID,
cn=backup, cn=tasks, cn=config, uses the following attributes to define the backup task.
A backup task entry under cn=backup must contain the location of the directory to which to
copy the archive copy (in the “nsArchiveDir” attribute) and the type of database being backed
up (in the “nsDatabaseTypes” attribute). Additionally, it must contain a unique cn to identify
the task. For example:
dn: cn=example backup, cn=backup, cn=tasks, cn=config
objectclass: nsDirectoryServerTask
cn: example backup nsArchiveDir: /export/backups/
nsDatabaseType: ldbm database
As the backup operation runs, the task entry will contain all the server-generated task attributes
listed in “Task invocation attributes for entries under cn=tasks”.
nsArchiveDir This attribute gives the location of the directory to which to write the backup.
The backup directory here should usually be the same as the one configured in the
nsslapd-bakdir attribute.
