Files:
 ldap/admin/src/scripts/template-db2bak.pl.in

Changes:
 db2bak.pl: print out the back up directory
   Back up directory: ...
 db2ldif.pl: print out the exported ldif file name
   Exported ldif file: ...
   The ldif file name format: <server id>-[<backend>}<first suffix value>]+-<date_time>.ldif

Yes, they should print something like that.

laputa-userRoot_2007_3_19_11_14_51.ldif.
Sure. 

[Fix proposal]
db2bak.pl
=========
./db2bak.pl -D 'cn=Directory Manager' -w <pw>
Back up directory: /opt/fedora-ds/slapd-laputa/bak/2007_3_19_14_18_17
adding new entry cn=backup_2007_3_19_14_18_17, cn=backup, cn=tasks, cn=config

db2ldif.pl
==========
1) if suffixes are given, the first rdn values are added to the ldif file name
following the server id separated by '-'s.
./db2ldif.pl -D 'cn=Directory Manager' -w <pw> -s dc=example,dc=com -s
o=netscaperoot
Exported ldif file:
/opt/fedora-ds/slapd-laputa/ldif/laputa-example-netscaperoot-2007_3_19_14_18_7.ldif
adding new entry cn=export_2007_3_19_14_18_7, cn=export, cn=tasks, cn=config

2) if backend instance names are given, the instance names are added to the ldif
file name following the server id separated by '-'s.
./db2ldif.pl -D 'cn=Directory Manager' -w <pw> -n userRoot -n netscapeRoot
Exported ldif file:
/opt/fedora-ds/slapd-laputa/ldif/laputa-userRoot-netscapeRoot-2007_3_19_14_18_14.ldif
adding new entry cn=export_2007_3_19_14_18_14, cn=export, cn=tasks, cn=config

note: if '-a' options are given to the both utilities, the specified path is
used for the back up dir/ldif file.
