How to Back Up CA Directory Data

Use the following process to back up CA Directory data:

  1. Connect to a local DSA.
  2. Take a snapshot copy of the datastore of the running default DSA. This process is called an online dump. Use the following command to take the snapshot: 
    dump dxgrid-db

    Note: Replace dxgrid-db with the dsa name iTechPoz-Servern for backing up CA EEM.

  3. Use the DXdumpdb tool to back up the online dump (.ZDB files), that is the snapshot copy of the datastore to an LDIF file.
