I do know that using the db_* utilities are only applicable to the

2.3 is not a supported release series. I would strongly advise upgrading
to a supported release. But yes, back-hdb/bdb are the two mature backends
for use in the 2.3 series. I would only ever consider a "safe" backup of
bdb itself to be when slapd is shut down, and after db_recover has been
run. Then you can safely back up the *.bdb and log.* files. Puting slapd
in read-only mode is not necessarily sufficient, as you need to force a BDB
checkpoint prior to backing up the BDB db.
