The man-page is very explicit: <quote>The db_archive utility writes the pathnames of log files that are no longer in use (e.g., no longer involved in active transactions), to the standard output, one pathname per line. These log files should be written to backup media to provide for recovery in the case of catastrophic failure (which also requires a snapshot of the database files), but they may then be deleted from the system to reclaim disk space. </quote> I ususally do a regular "slapcat" and run backups of the resulting ldif, so I can delete all files reported by db_archive without backups of those transaction logs or database files. -- CU, Patrick. --- You are currently subscribed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE as the SUBJECT of the message.
