- On the server, go to the Time Machine menu item and select enter Time Machine. This will mount your Time Machine disk image automatically.
- On another machine open up an ssh session as an administrator (or you can mount the Time Machine backup image manually and do this locally)
- sudo bash to get a root shell (the Open Directory files are not accessible to a regular admin account)
- Stop the Open Directory Service with “serveradmin stop dirserv”
- cd to /Volumes/Time Machine Backups/Backups.backupdb/servername
- Here you will find a list of directories with the Time Machine backup sessions. Find one that is just before OD started going south and cd into it and descend to : /Volumes/Time Machine Backups/Backups.backupdb/servername/date/servername/private/var/db
- Then sync the data from the backup onto the source disk with : rsync -av openldap/ /private/var/db/openldap/
- Start the Open Directory Service with “serveradmin start dirserv”
