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.
