NDSbackup is the best affordable backup utility for eDirectory (also 8.8.x) around. The program can also backup trustee file rights.

It is a windows utility that will create an object based backup of the eDirectory objects, object link information and optionally it backups the file rights (it will not backup files).

Features:

• Runs on a windows pc or server (windows2000 or higher)
• Runs also in a windows only environment
• Simple!!
• Backups optionally the file-rights (extended version)
• (Sub)Tree backup is possible
• The datafile is offline (not on the same server as the eDirectory itself)
• The datafile is not a database, so no interface/installation problems
• Every backupfile contains the whole schema
• Multiple backupfiles (every day another file)
• Restore of a single object (and this links from other objects to the object)
• Restore (sub)tree (with class based filtering)
• Restore object to another location in the tree (with link repair)
• Restore object with attribute filtering
• Restore the file rights to existing objects without modifying the object
• Restore objects to another tree (usefull for migration)
• Restore filerights to another server (version 3.05.02)
• Backup as service or as windows gui process
• Email notification on complete
• and the best of all: it really WORKS!

Backup and restore are two separate programs.
