Hello,
what is the right solution to backup a Mirromode setup? I've a simple setup with two servers, running in mirromode and a virtual IP is moved on "request" between the two servers (nodes). The DNS-Name of the virtual IP is used for the client ldap requests. The server certificate is issued to the DNS name of the virtual IP, but has two SANs for the both node names. The node names will be used for replication in mirrormode. Everything is running well. Can I set up a third (readonly) server, who only replicates the Database from the "mirromode cluster'' using the DNS-Name without problems and then shutdown slapd temporarily and splacat the database?
Thanks Meike

You don't need to shut down slapd to slapcat the database, so I'm not clear what the concern is here? You should just do a periodic slapcat.
