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]

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).

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)
