NAME

       ipa-backup - Back up an IPA master

SYNOPSIS

       ipa-backup [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       Two kinds of backups: full and data-only.

       The back up is optionally encrypted using either the default root GPG key or a named key. No passphrase
       is supported.

       Backups are stored in a subdirectory in /var/lib/ipa/backup.

       The naming convention for full backups is ipa-full-YEAR-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS in the GMT time zone.

       The naming convention for data backups is ipa-data-YEAR-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS In the GMT time zone.

       Within the subdirectory is file, header, that describes the back up including the type, system, date of
       backup, the version of IPA, the version of the backup and the services on the master.

       A backup can not be restored on another host.

       A backup can not be restored in a different version of IPA.
