[K12OSN] RFC: smbldap-installer and LDIF backups

[Brian Chivers]

We run slapcat once a week and just add the date to the filename.

Something else that might be useful is ability to setup dbcache etc in the slapd.conf file. I added 
this to our system and it did help a bit.

Perhaps even adding the option to setup the system as a slave ldap server like I've done :-)
