Slapconfig backup shell script?

Trying to create a shell script scheduled with launchctl to backup an open directory master.
Googling seems to come up with this script:
#!/usr/bin/expect -f
spawn /usr/sbin/slapconfig -backupdb "Volumes/MacHD/Backups/odbackup"
expect “Enter archive password”
send “password\r”
expect eof
It gets caught up on the "Enter archive password" part, and complains that the spawn and send commands are not found.
Anyone see what I'm doing wrong or can suggest an alternative?

Ahhhh as always within minutes of posting here, I find an answer.
Throw above into a file odbackup.txt
Make a shell script that has:
cat odbackup.txt
expect -f odbackup.txt

I'm sure that a short google search should find some example for you.
Here some scripts :

But, that would be better to google for more results :

The objective is to backup the daily archive logs with out any loss of data.
Thanks,

I do not have a similar script to share, sorry. However, you may review the following links/notes:

Shell Script for automatic backup

Hello Every one,
We have windows network and sun solaris sparc box. (both from Sun Box and from Windows machine I can communcate using Telnet.)
I wish to take data backup of a system having windows operating system, into
the sun solaris sparc box automatically by week end .
Can anyone help me with the shell script which does this operation.
Regards,
Dwarak

first of all, is there nfs running? and on windoze box, do u have any nfs client program running?
you cant transfer files frm the windoze machine via telnet..
once you can settle the above, what you can do is a simple copy script and put it in your crontab.

Shell script for export backup in oracle 11g

Hi,
Oracle version 11.2.0..
O/S-AIX
How to write shell script for export full backup in oracle 11g and also need to remove 2 days of old backup.
Regards,
Raju

How to write shell script for export full backup in oracle 11g
Do you mean that export is your backup strategy ? is your database running in noarchivelog mode ? if so, then why ? if not so, then why not RMAN ?
need to remove 2 days of old backup.
If that mean remove files older than 2 days, you can use something like this :
$ find <absolute directory path> -mtime +2 -exec rm {} \;

Hi all,
I have migrated database from 8i to 10gr2.For Backup in 8i, we used a RMAN shell script (scheduled uding cron tab) to backup the database to Tape.(VERITAS BACKUP).
I am new to 10G.I checked out the options to backup the database using Oracle Enterprise manager DB console.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/10gr2_db_single/ha/rman/rman_otn.htm#t1d
I am planning to take a test backup using the steps mentioned inthe above url.Could any one suggest whcih is the best option for database backup,eiether to use Oracle Enterprise manager DB console or thru RMAN shell script for backup..?

I woudn't suggest you to work with EM if you want to be a professional DBA. Start learning RMAN and use CLI instead of GUI

Generate RMAN backup Script using unix shell script

Hello,
Could somebody give me a unix shell script that would generate RMAN script based on some user defined parameters in a config file.
e.g.
rman.conf
CHANNELS=4
USE_CATALOG=Y
DEVICE='sbt_tabe'
etc.,
many thanks,
kam

You can actually encapsulate the RMAN commands inside the shell script.
However if you really want to create a seperate RMAN script file, you can use the unix shell's "echo" command to write set variables to a file.
Thus, for example,
echo "rman target / catalog rman/rmanpassword@crcat" > RMAN_Script.rmn
echo "backup database plus archivelog" >> RMAN_Script.rmn
echo "backup archivelog all" >> RMAN_Script.rmn
creates RMAN_Script.rmn with 3 commands.

Unix shell script to do a cold backup

the db capacity is around 12 Tb

kindly help me regarding this
thanks in advance

i used something like this until recently:
#!/bin/bash
umask 0077
export ORACLE_HOME="/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/webdb1"
export PATH="$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH"
export NLS_LANG="AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1"
db="dbname"
pipe="export.pipe"
file="$db-`date "+%Y-%m-%d"`.dmp"
if [ ! -p $pipe ]; then
## could exist but not be a pipe
rm -f $pipe
mknod $pipe p || (echo "could not create pipe $pipe"; exit 1)
fi
gzip -c > $file.gz < $pipe &
exp system/****@$db FULL=Y CONSISTENT=Y FILE=$pipe DIRECT=Y GRANTS=Y
you could of course also use zip|bzip2|pbzip2 or whatever.

Can anybody provide AIX shell script for Oracle Apps R12 instance backup

Hi
Can anybody provide AIX shell script for Oracle Apps R12 instance backup? Manually, i am able to backup but i donot have shell script to schedule through crontab.
Help me please.
Thanks

Rman can be used for Database, not for Application tier. Again, I assumed you are looking for a script to backup the database. For the application tier, you can simply do a filesystem backup.
I still do not understand your concern? Is it about using crontab? If so, then check here --> man crontab <--
