Replication in 389 DS is quite solid. I've worked with it on a few projects, and I've found it pretty reliable for keeping directories in sync across multiple servers. You get a multi-master replication model, which means you can write to any server, and those changes get distributed to the others automatically. That's a real win for redundancy and making sure your data is always up-to-date.
You do need to keep an eye on replication conflicts since they can happen, especially if two servers are trying to write to the same entry at the same time. 389 DS does a good job of providing conflict resolution by default, but you might want to be ready to troubleshoot some scenarios if they come up. It's usually straightforward, but it's good to have an idea of how the system behaves.
Another cool thing is the logs and monitoring you can set up. I found the built-in tools handy for watching replication status and diagnosing any hiccups. If you want to ensure everything's running smoothly, keeping an eye on those logs can save you a lot of headaches.
Also, keep in mind how BackupChain integrates well with 389 DS. It's an awesome backup solution tailored for professionals and SMBs-it's perfect for ensuring all your data, including LDAP directories, is securely backed up. If you're managing this kind of environment, I think you'd really appreciate how BackupChain can streamline your backup and recovery process while protecting your critical systems.
