eDirectory on Windows Scheduled Online Backup
Submitted By ScorpionSting on Mon. 03.31.2008
license:
N/AThis nice, easy tool allows for the online backup of eDirectory to a specified location, so the file system backup can consume the files.
Steps the script takes:
- Starts a log file
- Cleans up backup files so that only 2 backups exist on the file system at any point.
- Backs up NICI Registry entries.
- Backs up NICI directory.
- Sets Roll Forward Log location (if specified in command line).
- Backs up eDirectory.
Please read the top of the ndsbackup.vbs script for more information.

Not Working...
I get the errormessage "could not ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
where I used the IP Address of my NetWare server?!?
RE: Not Working...
Ummm....the tip title is "eDirectory on Windows", not NetWare...
Oops...
You are absolutely correct. It is just that after all these years of using eDirectory in my mind it gets translated to NetWare automatically. I still need to get used to the fact that eDir is available on other platforms as well.

How does it 'login' into eDir?
Hi,
I was wondering how the script authenticates to eDir to be able to execute the backup operation? I see no variable or whatsoever in the script to pass the credentials to the backup operation.
I had the same issue with my old script and I had to use a third-party tools to encrypt the eDir credentials in the script.
Maybe your example is to be used within an authenticated session on a machine equipped with the Novell client SW ?
Thanks for the info!
Jacques
RE: How does it 'login' into eDir?
Jacques,
The script uses dconsole.exe to execute dsbk.
Please see Novell's documentation ( http://www.novell.com/documentation/edir88/edir88/... ) on what dsbk is and how it works.
