In docs redhat writes that this script creates a dynamic backup task. This task will make the backup. In admin guide of DS they use this command as an example:
Go down to section of using commandline to create full backup. In short they go to slapd-instance directory and run script there. Without -a parameter what I find interesting because they only give script one parameter - the name of backup file.
Send from htc desire z
Hi thanks
I have done that before .. here is command
perl db2bak.pl -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w 'testtest' -a /root/bak/
Back up directory: /root/bak/
adding new entry cn=backup_2012_8_3_10_48_13, cn=backup, cn=tasks, cn=config
so how if i go to /root/bac
there is not any file in there .
so where is the backup ??
