I did see that and do know how to do slapadd/slapcat backups. What I'm not clear on is how that works with N-Way MMR. Wouldn't I have to go and delete the the /var/lib/ldap on every master replica machine prior to loading the backup with slapadd? Or is that not necessary?
In any case, I did update my syncrepl to use cn=accesslog and I no longer have any issues with bulk operations being propagated to the other master replicas.
Thanks, Frank

For various reasons backup and restore should be done with command-line tools slapcat and slapadd which operate directly on the database files.
And yes, with recent backend modules like back-mdb and back-hdb you can
do
hot backup while slapd is running.
Of course, before a restore you have to stop slapd and remove the DB
files.

After using slapadd you should check whether ownership/permissions are still correct.
Please read the responses carefully.
