Hi Andi,
Yes, you can take a "snapshot" of the database and transfer it to the slave.
syncrepl uses the ContextCSN entry to determine data/time of changes.
Make sure you use NTP on all servers.

Hi,
I have a very big Master Slave Replication (about few millon entrys). Now I want to start with syncrepl and I started both Servers. Now Slave got all information via syncrepl for the initial load. Is it possible to change the "initial load"-way? Maybe simply copying the whole DB from Master to Slave at the beginning, so that LDAP doesn't have to sync the whole DB? It is really slow.
Hopefully you can help me. Andi
