NAME
bak2db.pl - Directory Server perl script for restoring a backup
SYNOPSIS
bak2db.pl -a archivedir [-Z serverID] [-D rootdn] { -w password | -w - | -j filename } [-t dbtype] [-n

DESCRIPTION
Restores a database from a backup. The Directory Server must be started prior to running this script.
OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below:
-a archivedir
The directory of the archived database.
-Z Server Identifier
The server ID of the Directory Server instance. If there is only one instance on the system, this
option can be skipped.
-D Root DN
The Directory Manager DN, or root DN. If not specified, the script will search the server
instance configuration for the value.
-w password
The rootdn password.
-w -
Prompt for the rootdn password.
-j password filename
The name of the file that contains the root DN password.
-t database type
The backend database type (default: ldbm database).
-n Backend Name
The name of the LDBM database to restore. Example: userRoot
-P Protocol
The connection protocol to connect to the Directory Server. Protocols are STARTTLS, LDAPS, LDAPI,
and LDAP. If this option is skipped, the most secure protocol that is available is used. For
LDAPI, AUTOBIND is also available for the root user.
-h
Display usage
EXAMPLE
bak2db.pl -a /LDAP/backups/20130305/ -D 'cn=directory manager' -w password -n userRoot -P LDAPS
Note: security must be enabled to use protocol LDAPS. If LDAPS is not available it will default
to next strongest/available protocol automatically.
bak2db.pl -a /LDAP/backups/20130305/ -Z instance2 -w password -n example -P LDAPI
