> # Backup Directory Dialog

> Use this dialog box to create a backup of your directory server contents. A backup consists of a copy of all database files for every suffix.

> Directory. Enter the full path of the directory where you want the server to store the backup files, or click Browse to find an existing directory. Note that the Browse button is disabled when managing Directory Server from a console on a different machine.

> Originally, this field contains the default backup directory name.

> Use default. The default backup directory name is the following:

> serverRoot/slapd-serverID/bak/YYYY_MM_DD_hh_mm_ss

> where serverID is the name of your directory server, and the directory name is generated to contain the current date and time. Click this button again to generate a new directory name with the latest time.

> OK. Click OK to begin the backup with the path shown in the Directory field.
