When you back up the database, the resulting file that the utility creates has a
.bak extension and a pre-defined name of "DirServicesYYYYMMDD." For
example, a file created on March 1, 2006 is automatically named
"DirService20060301.bak."
You can only back up the database to a local drive. It is recommended
that you store the database backup file in a safe network location.
To back up the database
1. In the Server Backup section, in the Folder for backup files: field, type the
destination folder name for the database backup file. Alternatively, click
