To Back Up a Data Store

You must rebuild the data store attribute indexes every few weeks or whenever large numbers of entries have been deleted. This also frees disk space no longer required by the attribute indexes.
To rebuild the indexes for a data store, choose Update Indexes from the LDBM Data Store menu of the data store property book. You need to do this for each data store individually. Alternatively, you can use the idxgen command to regenerate indexes. Refer to the SIMS Reference Manual for information on the idxgen command.
Note - If you add any additional index definitions to slapd.conf, you must regenerate indexes before running slapd again. This is true even if you have not yet added data matching the new indexes to the Directory.
