13.4 Basic parts of opsi
opsi may be devided in five different parts which may be backuped or not. The location where to find this part may
vary (by Linux distribution, version and configuration).
13.4.1 Opsi configuration
The most important part of opsi is the configuration. You will find it at /etc/opsi.
This part will be backed up by opsi-backup.
13.4.2 Opsi backends
The data about the managed clients and the products might be stored in different backends. The most important
backends are:
Table 1: opsi backends
Backend Description
file-Backend File based backend (default backend)
mysql-Backend MySQL based backend (since opsi 4 for all
configuration data)
ldap Stores configuration data at the ldap
univention Special ldap backend for Univention Corporate Server
dhcp Special backend which is used in combination with a
dhcpd at the opsi-server
Different backends may be used for different purposes at the same time. So you should have a look at the
/etc/opsi/backendManager/dispatch.conf to see which backends you are using.
This part will be backed up by opsi-backup.
13.4.3 opsi depot share
At the opsi depot share you will find the installation files of the software to be installed on the clients by opsi. The
directories which contain these files (Local boot products and netboot products) are located at /opt/pcbin/install
or /var/lib/opsi/depot.
