The task backend provides a mechanism for processing tasks in the
OpenDS Directory Server. Tasks are intended to provide access to certain
types of administrative functions in the server that may not otherwise be
convenient to perform remotely.
Tasks that are currently available for use provide the ability to backup
and restore backends, to import and export LDIF files, and to stop and
restart the server. The details of the task to perform are held in an
entry that is added below the root of the task backend, and then the
task backend is responsible for decoding that task entry and ensuring
that it is processed as requested. Tasks may be invoked immediately,
but they may also be scheduled for execution at some future time.
It is also expected that task backend will be given the ability process
recurring tasks, which can be used to help ensure that maintenance
operations (e.g., backups) are performed automatically on a regular basis.
The org.opends.server.backends.task.TaskBackend class provides the entry
point for the task backend implementation.

This specifies the path to the backing file for storing information about
the tasks configured in the server. It may be either an absolute path or
a path that is relative to the base of the OpenDS Directory Server
instance.
