Hello, I am setting up n-way multi-provider replication. Should we expect a full sync when we setup sync for the first time on a new provider? Can we load a backup data.mdb file first and have deltasync run from there to prevent a full sync (i.e. to save time)? What is the expected behavior/best practice?
Also, I have some questions around mdb_copy. Is there any concern using the -c flag for compacting the data.mdb file to be used for restore (or new n-way provider if that works)? I notice the compacted file is smaller on disk than the original data.mdb (due to the removed freed pages). I assume the data sets are still the same? Are there tools to compare the two? And last question, I am using mdb_copy to create a backup but standard linux cp to put the new file into /var/lib/ldap/data.mdb. Will this cause any issues or is it recommended to use mdb_copy to also move the data.mdb file into place? Thanks! Paul
