Hi,
I'm planning to make a daily backup of my openldap(2.3.19 used with bdb backend). There are couple of questions that I have -
- If I take a backup using slapcat while slapd is running - is there a
possibility of some data loss or other inconsistency?
No.
- Is there some other effective backup mechanism / backup tool
recommended other than slapcat.
No.
- If I can programmatically assure that no writes happen during my backup
phase - then does it matter whether slapd is running or not?
No.
- I'm going to do this in both Windows and Solaris environment - so any
suggestions like I should use something specific based on the OS?
No.
I would highly appreciate if my questions are effectively answered.
