Databases contain the directory data managed by your Netscape Directory
Server (Directory Server). This chapter describes the following procedures for
populating your directory databases:
•
Importing Data (page 143)
•
Exporting Data (page 150)
•
Backing Up and Restoring Data (page 154)
•
Enabling and Disabling Read-Only Mode (page 161)
Importing Data
Directory Server provides three methods for importing data:
•
Import from the Directory Server Console—You can use the Directory
Server Console to append data to all of your databases, including database
links.
•
Initialize databases—You can use the Directory Server Console to import
data to one database. This method overwrites any data contained by the
database.
•
Importing data from the command line—You can import data using the
command-line utilities.
NOTE
Populating Directory Databases
The LDIF files you use for import operations must use UTF-8
character set encoding. Import operations do not convert data from
local character set encoding to UTF-8 character set encoding.
