Restoring The Dse.ldif Configuration File; Enabling And Disabling Read-Only Mode - Netscape DIRECTORY SERVER 6.01 - ADMINISTRATOR Administrator's Manual

Directory Server automatically detects the compatibility between the replica

Enabling and Disabling Read-Only Mode

Before performing certain operations of export or backup on your Directory Server,
you can enable read-only mode on any of the databases to ensure you have a
faithful image of the state of these databases at a given time.
The Directory Server Console and the command-line utilities do not automatically
put the directory in read-only mode before export or backup operations because
this would make your directory unavailable for updates. However, if you have a
multi-master configuration, this might not be a problem for you.
