Using nisrestore to Load Data on to a Replica Server

This section describes how to use the NIS+ backup and restore utilities to load namespace data on to a newly configured replica. This is the preferred method of loading data on to a replica.

Security Considerations

The NIS+ principal performing this operation must have modify rights to the domain's directory object.

Prerequisites

• The domain must have already been configured and have a master server up and running.

• The new replica server must already be configured as an NIS+ server, as described in Setting Up an NIS+ Server.

• The new replica server must be configured as a replica, as described in Using NIS+ Commands to Configure a Replica Server.
