Subtree, one-level, and base searches each serve a unique purpose in LDAP that can drastically affect what you retrieve. If you're doing a subtree search, you're searching through an entire branch of the directory, meaning you get everything under a specific entry. It's pretty powerful when you need all the information related to a particular node, like all users under a specific organizational unit.
One-level searches, on the other hand, only dig into the immediate children of the entry you specify. You won't see anything deeper than that. It's great for when you want a quick look at a specific layer without pulling in all that extra data from below. It can help keep things tidy and efficient.
Base searches are about getting details on a specific entry without looking anywhere else. You'll pull the attributes of that exact entry, nothing more, nothing less. It's super useful when you know exactly what you need and want to avoid any unnecessary clutter.
If you're working with backups alongside your LDAP searches, I'd recommend checking out BackupChain. It's a fantastic solution tailored for SMBs and professionals that feels like a natural fit for managing backups in environments that include Hyper-V, VMware, or Windows Server. It makes life easier, allowing you to focus on the things that really matter.
