What we're doing currently is: - stopping slapd - using db_checkpoint and db_archive to manage the BDB logs - copy away the directory - restart slapdI'm trying to estabish if read-only mode is close enough to _stopping_ slapd, to allow that bdb-specific processing to safely commence...
I thought I was very clear on that in my last email. It is not sufficient. You need to stop slapd and run *db_recover*, which is more exhaustive than db_checkpoint, if you want to go the route of backing up the BDB db.
