Dear Folks,
our old backup system for our LDAP clusters using slurpd is as follows:
Just use slapcat.
# du -sh /var/lib/ldap 7.4G /var/lib/ldap
Slapcatting this lot every 15 minutes is likely to make a machine less capable of doing other work.
auditlog is not appropriate.
Please can you explain why this is so?
Do you think we are wrong now to be using the replogfile to achieve what is in effect an incremental textual backup every fifteen minutes?
Can you suggest any reasonable alternative to auditlog of achieving the ability to reconstruct the LDAP databases from textual LDIF files losing a maximum of fifteen minutes of data?
