Hi Frank,<br><br>for backup reasons, did you think about a read only slave who has all the data of the maybe failed master?<br>When you repaired/replaced the master and have it back online, you would be able to restore them back to the master.<br>

<br>bye<br>

Hello<br>
<br>
I wanted to start a &quot;replicant/backup&quot; server at our site.<br>
<br>
Actually we only have one openldap server that serve our LAN<br>
and I want to start a slave server in case of master&#39;s crash.<br>
<br>
I&#39;ve read documentaion here<br>
<a href="http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/replication.html" target="_blank">http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/replication.html</a><br>
<br>
But I need some help to choose the best config for our site<br>
( a backup server , that&#39;s all )<br>
<br>
Thank you<br>
<br>
