If the root of the primary database is "", and you try and export a base that doesn't exist via slapcat, the entire database is exported (i.e., it acts like you specified "" as the base):

Works as designed. -b selects the backend that matches the DN you provided. A backend with suffix "" matches anything that nothing more specific matched. If you wanted to filter down to a specific branch, you should have used -s. Closing this ITS.

There is no backend matching cn=accesslog. There is only "" and "cn=monitor" on this particular server. The goal here was not to export a subtree, it was something trying to export the delta-syncrepl accesslog on a server that didn't have one. That should result in an error, not match the primary db rooted at "". I certainly wouldn't expect -n 3 to default to -n 1 if -n 3 doesn't exist. Neither should -b "cn=accesslog" default to -b "". Those clearly do not match.
