Would they be re-usable. i.e. Could I copy the data files, and could
they be used again if copied over the other files? I am thinking
about a backup strategy for the LDAP data.
I use subversion to back up my LDAP servers - the ldif snapshot is
dumped on a regular basis, and the ldif is then automatically checked
into a repository dedicated for this purpose.
This technique gives you backup depth, so that corruption of the LDAP
server doesn't result in accidental corruption of the backups.
That's a pretty smart solution, assuming the server does not contains
too much data ! Extracting all the ASF entries from ADS will only take
one or two seconds...
Thanks Graham !
