replication in 1.5.7 is broken, version 2.0-M2 has support for
replication(it is an implementation of RFC4533 (a.k.a syncrepl ) )
If upgrading to 2.0-M2 is not an option then I would suggest you to
write a program to take the dump of the directory data(in LDIF)
Implementing this using ApacheDirectory project's client-api [1] is
quite easy, let me know if you have any questions.

Greetings,
Thanks for your prompt reply and information.
Unfortunately using the Studio export/import is not an option in my
application. What I am actually trying to do is to create a failover
mechanism for when a master directory fails and must switch to another
LDAP server (perhaps a sloave) that contains the same (or most of) the data
contained in the master. In the ApacheDS source code, there is some
replication code, but it does not seem to do much/anything.
Do you have any advice on how to implement failover/redundancy?
Thanks in advance.
Steve

the tools project is quite old(broken) and not maintained at the moment
if you want to take a dump would suggest to use Studio's export feature

Greetings,
I am attempting to use the dump utility contained in the
apacheds-tools.jarand am having some
difficulties. I am attempting this on a Windows 7 environment (and will
also need to do it on Linux).
I have tried this with the 1.5.5 and 1.5.7 versions of ApacheDS, and
dump does not seems to work on
either. I have the apacheds-tools.jar in the folder:
C:\Software_Downloads\ApacheDS\apacheds_1.5.7\bin
and am using using the command:
java -jar apacheds-tools.jar dump -p system -i C:\app\data\ldap
(the schema and system files that ApacheDS creates are in that ldap
folder). Executing the command
above results in the following exception:
* Begin of output/exceptions *

*** End of output/exceptions *
As there does not appear to be a bin folder created by the ApacheDS
startup (or upon creation of a
new LDAP), it seems that the tool (given the ouput above) is expecting
that folder to exist.
Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Any insight/clue would be appreciated.
Kindest regards/thanks,
Steve
