Give us salvage for edirectory objects

Wouldn't it be great to be able to restore an edirectory object removed by accident and be able to recreate it from kind of an edirectory salvage pool/trash bin?

Who doesn't know incidents where a user object is asked to be deleted and a few days or even hours later someone shows up "Mmmmh, can we have this user back?" Files to restore are no problem as long as a backup exists. But what about group memberships etc.?

  • As mguldner already mentions, ndsbackup lets you do this.

    Here are the commands for backup and restore:

    Backup: ndsbackup cvf file.bak -a admin.org -p password
    Restore: ndsbackup xvf file.bak -a admin.org -p password .CN=groupname.OU=group.O=org.

    Do observe that when restoring a group, it won't add the groupMembership attributes under the user objects itself. (See Idea ID: 2876104)
