Backing Up Primary Server Data

To perform backup:

1.Stop the services and daemons

run this command as a root user

/sbin/init.d/krbsrv stop

2.Copy the principal.dat, principal.idx, and principal.ok files from one of the propagation servers to your desired destination. For example, CD-ROM or tape.

the files are located at /opt/krb5

3.Restart the services and daemons

run this command as a root user

# /opt/krb5/sbin/kpropd

All the new principal database information that was recorded on the primary server during your database backup will be copied to each secondary server when propagation resumes.
