Can someone explain what " For BDB and HDB, slapcat(8) can generally be used while the server is running" means. Is it safe or not? I'm still at the same point in my understanding. :)

We've been doing backups of our back-bdb database with slapcat while slapd is running since OL 2.1.25. Works like a champ.
