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
