Example—Backing Up the Kerberos Database

In the following example, the Kerberos database is backed up to a file called dumpfile. Because the -verbose option is specified, each principal is printed as it is backed up.


# kdb5_util dump -verbose dumpfile 
kadmin/kdc1.eng.example.com@ENG.EXAMPLE.COM 
krbtgt/eng.example.com@ENG.EXAMPLE.COM 
kadmin/history@ENG.EXAMPLE.COM 
pak/admin@ENG.EXAMPLE.COM 
pak@ENG.EXAMPLE.COM
changepw/kdc1.eng.example.com@ENG.EXAMPLE.COM

In the following example, the pak and pak/admin principals are backed up from the Kerberos database.


# kdb5_util dump -verbose dumpfile pak/admin@ENG.EXAMPLE.COM pak@ENG.EXAMPLE.COM
pak/admin@ENG.EXAMPLE.COM
pak@ENG.EXAMPLE.COM
