Create a Backup from an Online Dump

You can take a consistent snapshot copy of the datastore of a running DSA (an online dump). The DSA completes any updates before carrying out the online dump and does not start any more updates until the copy is finished.

Note: Each dump overwrites the previous dump. If you want to save the online dump, copy it to another location before the next dump.

You can create a backup of an online dump using the following process:

1. Generate an online dump from the dsa console port on demand.

   Or

   Schedule an online dump.

2. Convert the online dump to an LDIF file.
