This could destroy your ldap if you run this while slapd is running. Better do /etc/init.d/slapd stop 2>/dev/null slapcat -l /var/backups/tjener.ldif /etc/init.d/slapd start 2>/dev/null Then leave it up to slbackup to backup your database each day. slbackup is scheduled to run at 01:00, so if you schedule this job to run at 00:30 then you will have this backed up before slbackup starts. -- Finn-Arne Johansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bzz.no/
