Red Hat Directory Server 8.0 Administrator's Guide

• Copying data to another Directory Server.
• Exporting data to another application.
• Repopulating databases after a change to the directory topology.
For example, if a directory contains one database, and its contents are split into two databases,
then the two new databases receive their data by exporting the contents of the old databases
and importing it into the two new databases, as illustrated in Figure 4.1, “Splitting a Database
Contents into Two Databases”.
NOTE
The export operations do not export the configuration information (cn=config),
schema information (cn=schema), or monitoring information (cn=monitor).

The Directory Server Console or command-line utilities can be used to export data.
