#8217 RFE: ipa-backup should compare locally and globally installed server roles
Closed: fixed 4 years ago by fcami. Opened 4 years ago by fcami.

Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8): Bug 1810154

Description of problem:

ipa-backup should check whether all globally used server roles are locally
installed. If that's not the case, the resulting backup will probably not be
sufficient to restore a functioning, identical cluster.
For instance: taking a backup without a CA or KRA, etc.

Metadata Update from @fcami:
- Custom field changelog adjusted to ipa-backup now checks whether the local replica's roles match those used in the cluster and exits with a warning if this is not the case as backups taken on this host would not be sufficient for a proper restore. FreeIPA administrators are advised to double check whether the host backups are run has all the necessary (used) roles.
