Re: Trying to restore ldap database

["yunakaof@usp.br" <yunakaof@usp.br>]

Hi,

Is there, any software to backup the database to an
script file?

So that I execute sh backup-dump-script.sh I could
restore the entire database.

%%  2.1.22-8 should contain:
%%  /usr/sbin/slapcat-slapd-2.0-gdbm

%%  Which, if you place the configs and the data files back where they were,
%%  may be able to give you an ldif dump, which you should import with slapadd.
