This could destroy your ldap if you run this while slapd is running.
Better do
/etc/init.d/slapd stop 2>/dev/null
slapcat -l /var/backups/tjener.ldif
/etc/init.d/slapd start 2>/dev/null
Then leave it up to slbackup to backup your database each day. slbackup
is scheduled to run at 01:00, so if you schedule this job to run at
00:30 then you will have this backed up before slbackup starts.
