Bender / Restore Profile Manager

Hey guys!

Just practicing some OSX server restores with OD, File Sharing, Certificates and Profile Manager.

I run a 3 way backups strategy:

1. Time Machine Backups -> Restore was working fine

2. Carbon Copy Cloner -> Did not tried a restore yet

3. Bender (maybe you guys have heared about it)

And with Bender I have a small problem:

Manual says for restore:

sudo serveradmin settings < /path/to/your-sa_backup-allservices.backup

Mac mini, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2), Server 3.1.1

But this did not restore my Profile Manager!

backupfile of Bender is a .pgdump

How would you guys do the restore of it?

Kind regards!

Sorry to resurrect an old thread - but did you find out how to restore your backup using Bender? I'm in a similar situation (but attempting to restore the Wiki/Calendar).

As I recall the original version of Bender could not backup and hence allow restoring Profile Manager because Profile Manager uses PostgreSQL database. The Wiki server also uses a PostgreSQL database so maybe the same applied there. However the current version of Bender does now back these up.

See http://robotcloud.screenstepslive.com/s/2459/m/5322/l/94467-bender-automated-bac kup-of-os-x-server-settings

If you scroll down instructions on how to restore Profile Manager are listed. Obviously this relies on you having used a version that did backup Profile Manager.
