Its massive... and if it's corrupted, it's of no use. The LDAP dump is 6 
MB before compression, but /var/lib/ldap is much larger.

And with the proper dump, you can do a "diff -rub " on them over time to 
see what has changed.

I do back it up both manually (eg to /var/lib/ldap.old) and via the 
nightly rsync off everything of the server.
