ndsrestore(1Mnws)
ndsrestore --
restore NetWare server master replicas
Synopsis
tfadmin ndsrestore -i filename [-G
tty] [-M message] [-v]
Description
Use ndsrestore on the UnixWare command line to restore the master
replicas on a NetWare server that were backed up with
ndsbackup(1Mnws).
You should use this utility only as a last resort for restoring master
replicas. Keep sufficient backup copies of your master replicas on other
servers so you need to use this utility only as a disaster-recovery tool.
Note that you can change a non-master replica into a master and then create
a replica on the system. For more information, see
``Changing a replica's type''.
Options
- -i filename
-
Restore all the master replicas to the server from the file or device
specified with filename.
- -G tty
-
Specify where to display prompts that all the data on the media cartridge
has been restored and a new one needs to be inserted. Uses a default message
unless you use the -M option.
- -M message
-
Specify a customized message to be displayed when the media cartridge has
been restored. This message appears in the window from which you ran
ndsrestore unless you specify another location with the -G
option.
- -v
-
Print out the objects that are backed up (verbose).
Usage
This command does not restore all NetWare Directory Services (NDS)
information. For example, it does not restore the following:
-
system, schema, bindery, and external reference partitions
-
read/write and read only replicas
-
the entire directory tree (unless it resides on the NetWare server as master
replicas)
