Overview
* Backup and restore can be done in two formats:
– binary
– ldif
* backup command only backs up directory data
* Server configuration backups are stored in config/archived-configs directory
* Backup data can be encrypted.
– Symmetric key, which is stored in server configuration, is used to encrypt data
– Symmetric key is itself encrypted by a server private key, which is also stored in server configuration
backup
Examples
* Online backup

Restore
Examples
* List backups
restore --backupDirectory C:\prog\opendj3\bak --listBackups Backup ID: 20170810190222Z Backup Date: 10/Aug/2017:15:02:26 -0400 Is Incremental: false Is Compressed: false Is Encrypted: false Has Unsigned Hash: false Has Signed Hash: false Dependent Upon: none Backup ID: 20170810194027Z Backup Date: 10/Aug/2017:15:40:27 -0400 Is Incremental: false Is Compressed: false Is Encrypted: false Has Unsigned Hash: false Has Signed Hash: false Dependent Upon: none
