slapcat
slapcat is the functional opposite of slapadd. It reads the database
files directly and produces LDIF output. By default the LDIF
information is written to standard out unless a file is specified
with the -l option. Note: The -l option specifies a destination file with
slapcat, whereas it specified an input file with slapadd.
slapd should be disabled or switched to read-only operation while
the slapcat operation is performed.
LDIF is the recommended way to backup to DIT as it avoids
database library version issues should the DSA software be
upgraded or modified in addition to the fact that errors within the
LDIF can be corrected with any text editor.
slapcat processes the all of the same command line options as
slapadd (-n, -c, etc...).
