2.3.14.5 cn=restore,cn=tasks,cn=config

A database can be restored 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=restore entry is a container entry for task operations to restore a database. The cn=restore entry itself has no attributes, but each of the task entries within this entry, such as cn=task_ID, cn=restore, cn=tasks, cn=config, uses the following attributes to define the restore task.

A restore task entry under cn=restore must contain the location of the directory from which to retrieve the archive copy (in the “nsArchiveDir” attribute) and the type of database being restored (in the “nsDatabaseTypes” attribute). Additionally, it must contain a unique cn to identify the task. For example:

dn: cn=example restore, cn=restore, cn=tasks, cn=config

objectclass: nsDirectoryServerTask

cn: example restore

nsArchiveDir: /home/exports/

nsDatabaseType: ldbm database

As the restore 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.

Parameter	Description
Entry DN	cn=task_name, cn=restore, cn=tasks, cn=config
Valid Values	Any local directory location
Default Value
