Thanks for the timely feedback.
`ipa-backup` unfortunately does not solve this problem (but we'll still
separately employ it). I originally presented the goal poorly. I've
clarified in a new reddit post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/FreeIPA/comments/iml9y0/wheres_the_freeipa_server_database_dirfile_paths
I am not sure this would result in anything supportable from FreeIPA
upstream point of view. I would, certainly, not recommend this as a
supported configuration if you'd come with such request through the Red
Hat support organization.
FreeIPA is not a single application. It is an integrated platform that
combines together a lot of disparate components. We cannot coerce all of
them to store the data they own in a single place on a file system and
we don't need to, typically.
NFS or any other networking file system is not really giving the same
guarantees and semantics as a local file system in a UNIX-like operating
system environment. Performance-wise this approach is also questionable.
While any experiment is possible, I don't think anyone is going to
support FreeIPA on an NFS vendor product combined with a Linux vendor
product setup, so you would need to invest substantially more than what
you think into qualifying such setup.
