This is actually *Work in progress*
Scope

It is based on a cold backup method.
Method used
- Backuped user have a specific C.O.S. - first script connects to ldap server and builds the list of concerned users - second script loops on the user list and creates a specific sql file with the appropriate commands for a restore
How to use it
This is how I plan to use it :
