ndsbackup --
back up NetWare server master replicas
Synopsis
tfadmin ndsbackup [-l] -o filename
[-G tty][-M message] [-v]
Description
Use ndsbackup on the UnixWare command line to back up the
master replicas on a NetWare server.
This is a disaster-recover utility and should not be used as the primary
backup for your master replicas. You should use this utility only as a
precaution in case your system experiences a major catastrophe that destroys
all replicas.
For your primary backup procedure, we recommend that you create at least
two replicas of each master and store them on other servers.
Options
- -l
-
List all the master replicas on the server.
- -o filename
-
Back up all the master replicas on the server to the file or device specified
with filename.
- -G tty
-
Specify where to display prompts that the media cartridge is full and a new
one needs to be inserted. Uses a default message unless you use the
-M option.
- -M message
-
Specify a customized message to be displayed when the media cartridge is full.
This message appears in the window from which you ran ndsbackup
unless you specify another location with the -G option.
- -v
-
Print out the objects that are backed up (verbose).
Usage
This command does not back up all NetWare Directory Services (NDS)
information. For example, it cannot back up the following:
-
system, schema, bindery, and external reference partitions
-
read/write and read only replicas
-
the entire directory tree (unless it resides on the NetWare server as master
replicas)
