Creates a backup of the Directory Server database. The Directory Server must be
started prior to running this script.

A summary of options is included below:
- -Z Server Identifier
- The server ID of the Directory Server instance. If there is only one
instance on the system, this option can be skipped.
- -D Root DN
- The Directory Manager DN, or root DN. If not specified, the script will
search the server instance configuration for the value.

- The rootdn password.

Prompt for the rootdn password.

- -a backupdir
- The directory where the backup should be stored.
- -P Protocol
- The connection protocol to connect to the Directory Server. Protocols are
STARTTLS, LDAPS, LDAPI, and LDAP. If this option is skipped, the most
secure protocol that is available is used. For LDAPI, AUTOBIND is also
available for the root user.

it will default to next strongest/available protocol automatically.
