I had to do a restore by necessity, and here's what I had to do (by Noriko Hosoi's gracious recommendation): 1. on the current directory server, export the data into ldif files. go to your <server_root>/slapd-<id>; run "db2ldif -n <backend>" for each backend (e.g., userRoot) EXCEPT NetscapeRoot 2. install new FDS 3. go to the <new_server_root>/slapd-<id> 4. stop the directory server 5. import the ldif files from the current directory server repeat "ldif2db -n <backend> -i <server_root>/slapd-<id>/<date_time>.ldif" for each <date_time>.ldif file exported in (1). 6. start the directory server The issue is documented in this thread: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-directory-users/2007-February/msg00024.html The NetscapeRoot instance is server-specific, and it won't restore properly on a new server. -- Oscar A.
