Re: AW: Backup && Restore

Many thanks,
without your kind advice I wouldn't have even noticed. Do you sometimes trust other people that they can read too and that there questions might have somewhat deeper reasons ?

Hi,


Hi,

I have slapd and a large database going with it. Are there any
recommended procedures for backup and restore ? Does only the
/var/lib/ldap (the database directory) need to be backed up

Yes, this is the default path when using the ldbm backend:


,----[ /etc/openldap/slapd.conf ]
|
| #######################################################################
| # ldbm database definitions
| #######################################################################
|
| database ldbm
| directory /var/lib/ldap
`----

to tape ? Is
it recommended to stop slapd for the time of the backup ?

I use the this command to make a backup (ldif output) on redhat-7.2:
/etc/init.d/ldap stop; /usr/sbin/slapcat >~/slapcat-`date
+"%Y-%m-%d"`.ldif;/etc/init.d/ldap start
