<strong>opsi</strong>-backup is a command line program which makes it easy to create and restore <strong>opsi</strong> data backups.<br />

The basic commands are create, restore and verify.<br />

The option --help displays information about the accepted command line options. Use also --help (e.g.<br />

<strong>opsi</strong>-backup create --help) to get information about command options.<br />

<strong>opsi</strong>-backup --help<br />

The <strong>opsi</strong>-backup utility stores the configuration and backend data in nearly the same format as they were found at<br />

the server. So you may not restore these data to a server which uses other backends, has other <strong>opsi</strong><br />

<strong>version</strong>s or is in any other way different regarding the <strong>opsi</strong> data structures.<br />

<strong>opsi</strong>-backup creates always a full backup. There is no support for incremental or differencial backups.<br />

tools.<br />

Caution<br />

sure to store the backup files at a secure place.
