RE: Full Backup/Restore slapd

Hi,
Tks for your reply.
But i have a problem : I tested your documentation backup / restore. For the backup => OK
But when I restore i have error :
slapadd: could not add entry dn="cn=config" (line=1):
_ 1.53% eta none elapsed none spd 3.3 M/s
Closing DB...

if i test with the command -c argument (ignore error) i have :

sudo slapadd -F /etc/ldap/slapd.d -c -n 0 -l /export/backup/config.ldif
slapadd: could not add entry dn="cn=config" (line=1):
slapadd: could not add entry dn="cn=module{0},cn=config" (line=21):
slapadd: could not add entry dn="cn=schema,cn=config" (line=34):
slapadd: could not add entry dn="cn={0}core,cn=schema,cn=config" (line=45):
slapadd: could not add entry dn="cn={1}cosine,cn=schema,cn=config" (line=287):

slapadd: could not add entry dn="olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config" (line=687): Already exists
slapadd: could not add entry dn="olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config" (line=702): Already exists
_#################### 100.00% eta   none elapsed            none fast!

The entry exist, i do delete the DB 0 first ?
Tks for your help.
