Hi Tony et all.
AFAIK if I perform a full backup, and one day I need to restore it , I can but only on the same machine/FQDN... is that right? So if I destroy the IPA server then create a new one with the same FQDN and options as the first time then I restore it should be fine? 

Cheers
Alfredo

Hi Alfredo,

As Peter says, use ipa-backup. I suggest running it twice a day, but
that depends on how many changes you make in FreeIPA.

Then, get your backup software to backup /var/lib/ipa/backup some time
after you've run ipa-backup. Or, get your backup software to run
ipa-backup for you and then back up the destination folder.

It's always easier to restore a system from a full backup, but it takes
time and demands many full backups which are large in size, demands a
lot of storage and stresses your network.

I'd run a full backup of the FreeIPA server weekly and incrementals
twice a day, all of them right after running ipa-backup.
