Backup/restoring archives

[Commander Keen]

Hello,

While using the archive function in serveradmin (which actually is based on slapconfig -backupdb), and afterwards trying to restore from that archive, I get some errors, the restore seems to be working fine though.

Still, I’d like to know where these errors come from:
As you can see below, first there is this authentication error in hdiutil. Strange, cause it seems to get trough it after all.

hdiutil: attach failed – Authentication error

Second and worse:
at the end I’m getting this error:

2006-03-28 11:55:35 +0200 – Error: command failed with exit code 256: /usr/sbin/slapadd -c -l

while merging the ldap DB

Anyone any ideas?

Thanks

Check that ldif file if it still exists and see what it is?

Hello,

My OD is corrupt, LDAP Server is ‘stopped’ and I can’t add/delete users in Workgroup Manager (as admin, diradmin or root). After running the archive restore nothing changes, although I have successfully restored the same archive onto a test machine and add/remove users work on it.
I’m getting the same “hdiutil: attach failed – Authentication error” and “Error: command failed with exit code 256:” and thought it is this that prevents the archive from being restored properly and give me the permissions back.

Is this the case and is there a way to somehow (manually?) restore from the backup archive successfully?

By the way this is all on the OD master. I have OD replica on which LDAP server is running, but still the add/remove users buttons in Workgroup Manager there are grayed out.
