An encrypted LDIF file, containing everything found in the
OU=accessManagerContainer,O=novell container.
A file containing the Tomcat configuration information for the Administration

Console.
The trusted roots are backed up in both the LDIF file and the ZIP file. They are added to the ZIP file
so that the ZIP file has the complete certificate-related configuration.

not erased if you uninstall the product. The default location is the logged-in user's home directory.

the configuration database. For this scenario, see

The restore script cannot be used to move the Administration Console to a different platform, even if
the new machine is configured to use the same IP address and DNS name. The backup files contains
path information which is specific to the operating system. To move the Administration Console
