Before performing Transfer ID, we recommend that you back up your eDirectory database and NICI keys on both the source server and the target server. If the Transfer ID fails or if you quit the scenario, you cannot perform any actions on the source server without restoring the server’s DIB from the backup.
For more information about backing up and restoring eDirectory, see the NetIQ eDirectory 8.8 SP8 Administration Guide.
For more information about backing up and restoring NICI keys, see the NetIQ eDirectory 8.8 SP8 Administration Guide.
