Here are two scripts for doing a backup of eDirectory on Linux using either dsbk or ndsbackup. Download the file and use the following instructions to implement.

Installation instructions:

  1. Copy the edirbkup.tgz file to the root directory '/'. Extract the backup directory and scripts by executing the following command:
       #  tar zxvf edirbkup.tgz
  2. Modify the scripts by changing the variables to be specific to your server and eDirectory tree.
       #  vi dsbkup.sh
       #  vi ndsbackup.sh
  3. Add an entry in crontab to schedule the script to run automatically. To run nightly you may use something like this:
       0 23 * * * /backup/dsbkup.sh
       30 23 * * * /backup/ndsbackup.sh

The scripts are designed to keep only the 7 most current backups. You can modify it to meet your needs.
