Node:Restoring a Kerberos Database from a Dump File, Next:Creating a Stash File, Previous:Dumping a Kerberos Database to a File, Up:Global Operations on the Kerberos Database
To restore a Kerberos database dump from a file, use the
kdb5_util load command on one of the KDCs.  The syntax
is:
     kdb5_util load [-old] [-b6] [-b7] [-ov] [-verbose]
     [-update] [-hash] dumpfilename dbname [admin_dbname]
     
The kdb5_util load command takes the following options:
     
For example:
     shell% kdb5_util load dumpfile principal
     shell%
     
     shell% kdb5_util load -update dumpfile principal
     shell%
     
If the database file exists, and the -update flag was not given,
kdb5_util will overwrite the existing database.
