Re: [OPENLDAP] Backup for bdb backend: db utils or slapcat?

Yes I saw it... It is the version for Debian packet!

I will see how I can upgrade my version without braking my install.

Well for my question, slapcat do the same thing that the DB utils
and it is better to use it?

2.2.x is historical, it is no longer supported! 2.2.23 is nearly two

BDB backup and recovery are fully documented online!

But it is much easier to just use slapcat!
