How do you backup the eDirectory on a Novell OES Linux – without SP2 -?
Since OES SP2 a TSANDS is available for eDirectory on Novell OES Linux. SEP sesam provides a special backup type called “OES Novell Directory” for older versions. This backup type is using SEP’s sbc_nds and Novell’s ndsbackup to back up eDirectory. sbc_nds is generating an appropriate command line for backup levels FULL/DIFF and INCR. ndsbackup needs User and Password. These values must be defined in the properties of the Backup Task as Backup Option and Restore Option with -a user={your user},pass={your password} For instance: -a user=cn=admin.o=novell,pass=novell There is no selective restore possible but you can filter specific subtrees. To do this you have to choose “Expert Options” in the restore wizard and enter the requested subtree under tab ‘Filter’.
