Hi Tony et all.
AFAIK if I perform a full backup, and one day I need to restore it , I
can but only on the same machine/FQDN... is that right? So if I destroy
the IPA server then create a new one with the same FQDN and options as
the first time then I restore it should be fine?
Yes. The same version of IPA is also required.

Hi Alfredo,
As Peter says, use ipa-backup. I suggest running it twice a day,
but
that depends on how many changes you make in FreeIPA.
Then, get your backup software to backup /var/lib/ipa/backup
some time
after you've run ipa-backup. Or, get your backup software to run
ipa-backup for you and then back up the destination folder.
It's always easier to restore a system from a full backup, but
it takes
time and demands many full backups which are large in size,
demands a
lot of storage and stresses your network.
I'd run a full backup of the FreeIPA server weekly and incrementals
twice a day, all of them right after running ipa-backup.

for now I just want to implement a backup/restore process then
one/multiple replicas.
