!!! Overview
There is no [DSBK] executable for [Windows]. You use the dhostcon.exe to load the [DSBK] module which will then execute the backup.
!! Pre-Requisites
* You must run the commands as a member of the Administrators group
* When running at the console, you must run as administrator
* You MUST enable roll-forward logging
* Read [Novell DSBK Documentation|http://www.novell.com/documentation/edir88/edir88/?page=/documentation/edir88/edir88/data/bsl7jmp.html] !! Full Backup
{{{
dhostcon.exe 10.120.2.231 load dsbk backup -b -e secretnicipassword -f D:\backup\2010-11-01-03-full.bac -l E:\novell\logs\backup\2010-11-01-03-dsbackup-full.log -t -w
}}}
! The Parameters
The parameters on the command line are:
* -b - Do a full backup
* -f - The file where the actual backup is to be written
* -l - The file where the session log is written.
* -t - (Optional) Back up stream files. Includes the stream files when backing up the eDirectory database.
* -w - (Optional) Overwrite existing backup file of same name
* -e password - (Optional) Perform a NICI backup. The password specifies the NICI backup password. __The same password has to be specified to restore the NICI files.__
From our testing appears if the -i and -b are missing, a Full backup is performed.
The output log showed:
