eDir - 9.2.8 SLES 15 sp5

I have been using Brad Bartholomew's ndsbackup.sh for several years. I have now found it will not work with eDir 9.2.8 on SLES 15. Too many errors I am not able to resolve.

Any recommendations to backup eDir 9.2.8 on SLES 15 sp5.

Thank you.

Beside dsbk I also use an ldif format backup. This is useful to check for different attribute values in the backup in human readable format without restoring the full object. It also provides some kind of history for edirectory changes. It is not a full scale audit, but came in handy multiple times.

/opt/novell/eDirectory/bin/ice -l "$backupDir/$filename.log" -S LDAP -t -d "$backupUsername" -w "$backupPassword" -c SUB -b ' ' -D LDIF -f "$backupDir/$filename" >/dev/null 2>&1
