Thanks for the information Matthew.
I had a follow-up question. I obtained a windows version of db_recover
online (since it did not come packaged with the windows OpenLDAP
installation). There is a var\openldap-data folder under OpenLDAP
under which I have these db files:
In general you cannot mix and match BDB utilities, you must use the
exact same version that was used to compile OpenLDAP. If you're using a
Symas CDS build then all of the proper utilities are included in the
package. If you're using a package created by someone else then you
should get the utility from them. (Personally, I wouldn't trust a
package from someone else if they were too negligent to provide all the
needed utilities in the first place.)

I ran the db_recover utility as below:
C:\Program Files\OpenLDAP>db_recover -v -h var\openldap-data
db_recover: unable to join the environment
db_recover: unlink: var\openldap-data\__db.005: Permission denied
db_recover: unlink: var\openldap-data\__db.004: Permission denied
db_recover: unlink: var\openldap-data\__db.003: Permission denied
db_recover: unlink: var\openldap-data\__db.002: Permission denied
db_recover: unlink: var\openldap-data\__db.001: Permission denied
db_recover: Ignoring log file: var\openldap-data\log.0000000001:

You are clearly using the wrong version.
The "Permission denied" errors probably indicate that you tried to run
db_recover while slapd was running. You have to stop slapd and insure
that no programs have any of the database files open before you can run
db_recover. After you get hold of the right version of the utility and
make sure that no programs are using the database these problems should
go away.

Would you know why I'm getting all these errors? Am I using the wrong
version of db_recover? Or is the home directory supposed to be
different when running db_recover under the OpenLDAP folder?
