backing up E-Directory on Windows

[Cameron_Harris]

Currently we are migrating to E-Directory on Windows 2003 from our Novell servers. What Client do i need to install on the server to backup the directory and schema?
The Novell Agent appears to be for Novell servers only.

Thankyou for the Response,

Currently we backup the user files / NDS Tree and Schema from Netware servers (BE10 on Windows 2003 using SMS option). All netware servers will be removed and only eDirectory on Windows 2003 will be available. User files will be moved to a Windows / AD platform. We are looking for a way to backup the tree and schema so we can do restores of objects in eDirectory.

We have a requirement to keep eDirectory for Zenapps and policies. We currently backup all the Apps using scripts.. however we need to be able to restore user and group objects or entire OU's
I hope this is enough info.

Hello,

Please note Backup of eDirectory on Windows is not possible.

However, you can unload the eDirectory and take an offline or flatfile backup.
