We are still using the bdb backend and the latest 2.4.59 (don't ask,
it will be replaced soon) and I remember, a "few" years ago, I had
problems with slapcat and online databases, because the server was
stucking for a while and answers were delayed ..
(The Admin Guide tells, that "Backups are managed slightly differently"

including the transaction logs ..

Ah, ok.  Yes, you could set up a read-only consumer node to take backups 
from.  I'd highly prioritize moving to a supported release of OpenLDAP with 
the back-mdb backend as well (I see you say it should be replaced soon). :)
