RE: How to take backup of the openldap users data from the command prompt in LINUX Fedora

["Lydon, Mark" <malydon@att.com>]

I'm interested in this one too....so you use slapcat to basically export the whole ldap database to an ldif file.  Can you simply import that file into an empty db if the original is lost?
