2.10. Backup Files

Each Directory Server instance contains the following directory and file for storing backup-related files:
  • /var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/bak — This contains a directory dated with the instance_name, time and date of the database backup, such as instance_name-2017_05_02_16_56_05/, which in turn holds the database backup copy.
  • /etc/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name/dse_original.ldif — This is a backup copy of the dse.ldif configuration file from the time of installation.
