The error below make me think that you are leaving your replication agreements intact while you attempt to restore to C. This would potentially make A or B attempt to sync updates to C while C is restoring from backup. No. C is empty, I am trying to get C populated by replicating from A. > "WARNING: Import is running with nsslapd-db-private-import-mem on; No other process is allowed to access the database" > > Are you deleting all replication agreements from A B and C before starting to work with A --> C again? No, and I'm terrified of breaking replication with B by fiddling. Are you able to shed any light on the three questions I asked below? >> I have a number of questions: >> >> - "Replica has a different generation ID than the local data." - what does this mean? Is it simply information to be ignored, a warning to be heeded (if so, how?), or an error (if so, what action must be taken?). >> >> - "ERROR bulk import abandoned". I am assuming this means that the replication failed, but it gives no indication as to *why* it failed. Anyone know of a way to coax a reason out of 389ds? >> >> - "NSMMReplicationPlugin - replica_replace_ruv_tombstone: failed to update replication update vector for replica". Again, is this purely for information, is this a warning, is this an error, what should I do in response to this?
