Backing up and Restoring data from Directory Server 6
One of the largest problems that I have noticed when doing directory deployments, are either invalid, or non-existent backups of their directory information. They often assure peace of mind when things unexpectedly go wrong (a la unexpected power outages).
I’ve found a good reference to how to do backups with Directory Server 6; and won’t rehash them here.
In essence, it may become necessary to have a single instance dedicated to doing routine backups in a large environment. This is because you need to be able to turn the instance to read-only for the duration of the backup.
