Re: How to backup/restore on remote servers

Hi,

1. Stop the LDAP/Samba service.
2. TAR the /var/lib/ldap and copy to another machine
3. Turn off the first server
4. Turn on the second server (identical network, IP, configuration -

it's a VM clone) 5. mv /var/lib/ldap /var/lib/ldap-bak 6. Untar the /var/lib/ldap 7. I certified that user/permissions were identical (openldap:openldap) 7. Turn the samba/ldap server on.

When I try to access the users via web interface (ebox), I got a complete machine halt :(( Even tty stopped to work.

PS: I did not copy the slapd.conf because they were identical.

Probably some configuration is missing. Does somebody have any glue on how to copy an entire LDAP database/configuration ?

slapcat/slapadd?
