Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
.Directory Server now backs up configuration files, the certificate database, and custom schema files Previously, Directory Server backed up only databases. With this update, when you run `dsconf backup create` or `dsctl db2bak` commands, Directory Server also backs up configuration files, the certificate database, and custom schema files that are stored in the `/etc/dirsrv/slapd-__instance_name__/` directory to the backup default directory `/var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-__instance_name__/bak/config_files/`. Directory Server also backs up these files when you perform the backup by using the web console.

Description mreynolds 2022-11-23 21:56:34 UTC 
Description of problem:

It would be nice to have a backup task that backs up the database, and... config, certdb, and schema

Comment 2 Eddy Resnick 2022-11-24 08:33:04 UTC 
See customer case https://access.redhat.com/support/cases/#/case/03369816

Specifically - useful to export the site specific data that are not past of the standard DS installation.
Comment 3 Eddy Resnick 2022-12-05 12:00:57 UTC 
I just tried restoring using ldapadd an instance from a backed up LDIF made by dsconf backend export. 
The ACIs are not added.
This backup/restore facility should be able to create and restore an instance in a single command.

Here is the design doc for this new feature:
