Hi, I'm planning to make a daily backup of my openldap(2.3.19 used with bdb backend). There are couple of questions that I have - 1. If I take a backup using slapcat while slapd is running - is there a possiblity of some data loss or other inconsistency?
No. Note that if a write to an entry comes in after slapcat has already exported that entry, it will not be in the LDIF export.
2. Is there some other backup mechanism / backup tool recommended other than slapcat.
No.
3. If I can programmatically assure that no writes happen during my backup phase - then does it matter whether slapd is running or not?
No.
4. I'm going to do this in both Windows and Solaris environment - so any suggestions like I should use something specific based on the OS?
No.
I would highly appreciate if my questions are effectively answered.
You should address your questions to [email protected] when they have to do with using OpenLDAP.
