DCD Backup and Restore - dcbckdib

Backup

The DCD backup by dcbckdib is a binary backup. It is used when these conditions are met:

DCD is in good order.
Restore to the same version of DCD.

Complete these steps to back up the DCD by dcbckdib.

Select Run from the Windows Start menu.
Type cmd to open a command prompt window.
Enter dcbckdib BACKUP <backup directory> to create a directory and place the backup in a subdirectory.
Figure 1 shows a successful run where arrow A displays the command format, arrow B displays the progress, and arrow C displays the backup file named DATABASE.DAT.

Restore

Complete these steps to restore the DCD by dcbckdib.

Stop the DC Directory Server.
1. Select Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Services. The Services window appears (see Figure 2).
  Figure 2—Services
2. Click Stop in the pop-up window (see Figure 2).
  
  Note: If you fail to stop the DC Directory Server, the restore fails as shown in Figure 3.
  Figure 3—Restore DCD Failure

Run the \dcdsrvr\bin\dcbckdib /y restore \tmp command to restore the DCD. Figure 4 displays a successful DCD restore by running dcbckdib.

DCB Backup and Restore - Migration Script

Backup

The backup files created when you run a migration script are flat text files which can be restored to any version of DCD.

Complete these steps to backup the DCD by running the migration script.

Select Run from the Windows Start menu.
Type cmd to open a command prompt window.
Run the \dcdsrvr\bin\avvid_migrate_save <Server Name> <Password> command. Figure 5 displays a successful run.

The backup run keeps all the backup files in the c:\dcdsrvr\run\dcx500\config\Migration-backup directory (see Figure 6) which are used for the future restore.

Check the avvid_migrate_save.log file which is located in the c:\dcdsrvr\log directory. This output demonstrates the log of a successful backup run:
