LVM snapshot as a backup method



Hi,

Has anyone used LVM snapshot as a backup method when downtime isn't allowed and slapcat takes hours to finish?

I have to find a way to backup the LDAP without bring it down or set it in ReadOnly mode, thus I thought about the LVM snapshot.

I can run LVM snapshot every day and then run db_recover -c for making the snapshot LDAP DB in a good state.

Am I missing something in the above idea?


Cheers,
Pavlos
