And what is the one you choose to pursue? You see, due to some reasons I am paranoid when goes about security things. Putting gziped LDIF representing your LDAP instance on corporate backup facility (sort of TSM) is definitely not acceptable for me. How do you solve this problem (if of course it is a problem for you)? Do you encrypt it?

Btw., did you try to use BDB with strong encryption together with OpenLDAP?
