I am used to run slapcat to create backups of the backend database _while_ slapd is running. Recently I migrated from bdb to mdb. Now I read that using slapcat on a running slapd is only safe for bdb and hdb backends [1].
You are confusing LDBM with LMDB. Two entirely different things. Slapcat is perfectly valid for back-mdb. The FAQ simply hasn't been updated in years. I.e., LMDB didn't even exist the last time it was updated.
Yes, you are right, I got confused by LDBM and LMDB and an outdated FAQ entry. I sleep better now after having learned that my backups aren't prone to corruption in this sense.
Many thanks,
