We use 389 Directory as part of our development lab. Every time when

Our current way of doing so is simply using the ldapdelete command to
remove all existing data and use ldapadd to re-create the base
hierarchy tree. This approach is okay but sometime it could take up
to 20 to 30 minutes to delete all existing data depending on the
amount of data saved in the directory.
Is there a more efficient way to repopulate the 389 Directory?
Yes. Import an almost empty LDIF file. You can also copy the on-disk
database underneath a server (when it is shut down), if you know what
you're doing.
