You could always try to compress it on the fly with

This should work if the total size is less than 10GB

I am unable to use slapcat to get whole database into a ldif file because I have a 32 bit machine which cannot write file having size more than 2 GB. So I am looking for alternate ways to get full database into ldif file. So please tell me if there are any alternate ways to do this. I am using openldap-2.4.16 with BDB-4.5
