Hi!
How would you handle live backups of a database with lots of write
activity?
Sadly Howard did not answer the above question you had, so I'll give you
the best solution I can think of based on what's currently available:
Have a secondary server (a replica) of the first. Using cn=config, delete
the syncrepl statement from the replica, run slapcat, then re-add the
syncrepl statement when you're done. As long as the server is under heavy
write traffic and backups take signficant time, you will unfortunately
heavily fragment the DB.
