Convert the Online Dump to an LDIF File

To create a backup of the data store from an online dump, you must convert the .ZDB files to an LDIF file.

To back up a directory to an LDIF file

1. Log in as the user dsa (on UNIX) or the administrator (on Windows).
2. Use the following command to back up the datastore to the LDIF file:

   dxdumpdb -f filename -z dsaname 
   

   -f filename

   Specifies the file path and name of the LDIF file.

   -z

   Specifies that DXdumpdb dumps from the online dump.

   dsaname

   Specifies the name of the DSA.

   The LDIF file is created at the specified path.
