The server was not down long, but the backup was about 10 hours old. This was a backup at filesystem level made by ufsdump. It was not a "regular" DS backup. When we restored the database file from the dump the server booted OK. Then we made little test: - made another ufsdump of the second master - shut down the server - let the primary master update for an hour - restored the second master's database from the dump - started the second master - let them do their replication magic - isolated both servers (i.e. no updates) - compared the LDIF dumps Again, they were not the same. We probably should have used the built in backup functionality, right ? Regards, Mitja
