If you can't get a slapcat backup, how would you get a ldapsearch backup?
A seconds reason, why I try to prevent using slapcat on a productive system is:
=======================================================
slapd[4812]: bdb(ou=root): PANIC: Permission denied
slapd[4812]: bdb(ou=root): DB_ENV->log_newfh: 15752: DB_RUNRECOVERY:
Fatal error, run database recovery
slapd[4812]: bdb(ou=root): txn_checkpoint: failed to flush the buffer
cache: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recover
slapd[4812]: bdb(ou=root): PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery
slapd[4812]: null_callback : error code 0x50
slapd[4812]: syncrepl_updateCookie: rid=001 be_modify failed (80)
slapd[4812]: do_syncrepl: rid=001 rc 80 retrying (4 retries left)
=======================================================
This message I got today on a productive system while getting a ldif
via slapcat for setting up an syncrepl slave.
This shouldn happen, slapcat (8) manpage tells:
"For some backend types, your slapd(8) should not be running (at
least, not in read-write mode) when you do this to ensure consistency
of the
database. *It is always safe to run slapcat with the slapd-bdb(5)*,
slapd-hdb(5), and slapd-null(5) backends."
So using ldapsearch is more reliable for me ...

If you ever get "Permission denied" there's something wrong with
ownership/permissions of your slapd setup or slapcat process. You should
immediately fix it.

Yes, slapd runs under user "ldap" and I used slapcat as root,
but slapcat shouldn't change permissions or write any things?
If so, there should an explicit note in the manual page appended to
the sentence "..It is always safe to run slapcat with the slapd-bdb(5).." ?
