So I understand, I make a dry-run (slapadd -u) to test the backup?
I tried this, but got no error, only if I make a real import, then
slapadd throws the error.
(The following import I've tested with BDB configuration.)
Real import:
----------------
debld02:~ # slapadd -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf -q -l /backup.ldif
_#################### 100.00% eta none elapsed 19m11s spd 2.2 M/s
Closing DB...Error, entries missing!
entry 1156449: ou=a,ou=b,ou=c,ou=root
debld02:~ # echo $?
1
Quick and dry-run import:
------------------------------------
debld02:~ # slapadd -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf -u -q -l /backup.ldif
.#################### 100.00% eta none elapsed 03m56s spd 10.8 M/s
debld02:~ # echo $?
0
Dry-run import without quick option:
---------------------------------------------------
debld02:~ # slapadd -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf -u -l /backup.ldif
.#################### 100.00% eta none elapsed 04m04s spd 10.4 M/s
debld02:~ # echo $?
0
So I get no error after dry run import, while the backup is damaged.
Do I misunderstand anything?

I'll try this!
Many thanks, Meike
