To restore the database using the Configuration Tool:
In the Configuration Tool, click Restore database in
the task list on the left. For a proxy server, click Restore
instance.
In the Restore database window on the right, in the Restore
directory field, type the path in which the directory server
instance was previously backed up. Alternatively, click Browse to
locate the path.
If you want to restore only the directory data, but not the configuration
settings from the backed up copy, select the Preserve
current configuration settings check box. If you want to restore
both data and configuration settings, be sure that the check box is
cleared.
If the change log is configured for this directory server instance
and you want to restore the change log data, select the Include change log data in restore check
box.
