I thought I was very clear on that in my last email. It is not sufficient. You need to stop slapd and run *db_recover*, which is more exhaustive than db_checkpoint, if you want to go the route of backing up the BDB db.

I'm sorry; I thought you were focussing on my processing of the directory's contents (which do need review, thanks), rather than how I prepared slapd.

Ok. Now I now, read-only mode via the config database is not sufficient for making backups in this manner.

Thanks for your patience...
