Backup and restore OUD istance

User_UXWMG

Good morning everyone,

I would need some clarification regarding backing up an OUD instance. I would like to backup data on an OUD instance. That is, I need to edit entries in the OUD instance and after edited the entries I would like to do a data restore. I saw that there are two ways, backend backup of the instance and export ldif. In some instances I backed up the backend, but when I did the restore it didn't bring the entries to the initial state, I don't know if I did something wrong. While I also tried to do an export of a branch and then do the import, but when I did the export I saw that all the entries disappeared from the DIT ldap, is that how the export-ldif works or I did something wrong? To return to the initial state of a modified data what should I do? I thank anyone who can help me. Thank you! :)

I'm not entirely understanding the reasoning here. Are you looking for disaster recovery?

On backup, when restoring - the restore should bring the installation back to where it was at the point the backup was taken.

On import, it will bring the entries back as they were when the export was performed. An import as well as a restore wipes entirely out whatever is there and replaces with the data that was present (backed up or exported) when the process was performed.
