Hi Ulf,
Thank you for this. Once I stopped Googling 'move' and tried backup / restore
instead I did manage to find quite a few postings about this. However
whenever I tried to follow these postings I came up with errors after
completing the move.
In the end I shut down slapd on both the old and new servers,
removed /etc/openldap and /var/lib/ldap, and then rsync'd the old files to
the new one
Once this was done, I restarted slapd on the old and new servers and both
worked perfectly
