I'm trying to figure out the best & and safest way to back[]up my DB while not turning off the slapd(8) service at the same time. As far as I understood, the .mdb file where the DB data is stored in, seems always consistent?! So, a simple ?!
Here they talk about an atomic hot backup cabability: http://symas.com/mdb/. And here they also seem to confirm my theory: http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap- ... 00229.html.
Is this correct, or is there a better way of taking backups while slapd(8) is runnung?
Thanks
cp -a /var/openLDAP /var/backups/OpenLDAP_Backup should do the job, right? But I guess I have to shutdown slapd at least for the rollback, right? This just sounds too easy/good to be true!Here they talk about an atomic hot backup cabability: http://symas.com/mdb/.
