Re: Problem with openldap backup script

[Nick Milas <nick@eurobjects.com>]

Thanks Quanah,

I know about slapcat and I'm using it with great success.

However, I was wondering about this backup script, since it's part of 
the default installation (using these RPMs) and automatically scheduled 
with cron. It seems to be a nice and sophisticated script (by Buchan) 
which looks trustworthy, although it appears to be relatively old.

Per your advice, I think I'll remove it and schedule (cron) slapcat for 
nightly/weekly backups instead, unless someone else provides other feedback.

Thanks again,
Nick
