Hello,

Theres a bit more to it	

You need to copy the server.xml
Then you will have troubles opening items with their own Object definition at server startup like this :

[14:13:48] WARN [org.apache.directory.server.core.entry.DefaultServerEntry] - Cannot read the attribute as it's OID ('2.2.10') does not exist

Etc. 

You need to export your own objects and reimport into the new instance. Copyiing files did not work for me.

Regards
M.Muncke

Betreff: Re: Backup and migration

Right now you would have to shutdown the server then just copy or tar up the contents under the partitions folder then restart the server.  Eventually this shutdown/restart must go away for production use that does not require maintenance windows for this process.  I hope to get there for 2.0 but we'll see.
To restore just shutdown the server, and replace the old partitions directory then start the server.

Regards,
Alex
