Dear all,

I am used to run slapcat to create backups of the backend database _while_ slapd is running. Recently I migrated from bdb to mdb. Now I read that using slapcat on a running slapd is only safe for bdb and hdb backends [1].

Question: - Is that still true? - In which situation could data corruption occur? - Is that supposed to change in the future?

Many thanks, -- Bastian Tweddell Juelich Supercomputing Centre phone: +49 (2461) 61-6586 HPCNS, HPS
