7.4.1. bak2db.pl (Restores a Database from Backup)
Restores a database from a backup.
Syntax
bak2db.pl [ -v ] -D rootdn { -w password | -w - | -j filename } -a backupDirectory [ -t
databaseType ] [ -n backend ]
Options
The script bak2db.pl creates an entry in the directory that launches this dynamic task. The entry is
generated based upon the values provided for each option.
Option Description
-a backupDirectory The directory of the backup files.
-D rootdn Gives the user DN with root permissions, such
as Directory Manager. The default is the DN of
the Directory Manager, which is read from the
nsslapd-root attribute under cn=config.
-j filename The name of the file containing the password.
-n backendInstance Specifies the backend name, such as
userRoot, which is being restored. This option
is only used for filesystem replica initialization or
to restore a single database; it is not necessary
to use the -n option to restore the entire
directory.
