I'm not sure how to reconcile that one with the advice in
  Database and log file archival
  http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/transapp/archival.html
It says you only need archive the last logfile.

You need to stop slapd first though.  Or sync to another slapd, then
stop and backup that slapd's database.
