Hello all,
I am using openldap 2.3.36.
Is it better to use slapcat to backup the data and use it during recovery (after disk partition crash) using slapadd ?
Or backup the transaction log files of BDB , so that recovery will be done using openldap’s automatic recovery functionality or dbrecover utility of bdb ?
I don't know about transaction log files of BDB, but we use slapcat/slapadd for backup/restore...
Just slapcat to a different Filename each night and you even have different revisions in your backup.
