You need to slapcat the old database and slapadd the data into the new one. (or with 2.0 slapcat might have been called ldbmcat or something like that)
Can you please give me the best link for instructions to do this Thanks in advance --Venkat

Really, you could have found this very easily from the documentation, but, something like this should work:
[root@server1] service ldap stop [root@server1] slapcat -l backup.ldif [root@server1] scp backup.ldif server2:
[root@server2] service ldap stop [root@server2] slapadd -l backup.ldif [root@server2] service ldap start
(or, if you are using: http://anorien.warwick.ac.uk/mirrors/buchan/openldap/rhel4/ :
[root@server2] service ldap2.3 stop [root@server2] slapadd2.3 -l backup.ldif [root@server2] service ldap2.3 start )
However, openldap 2.0 was very lax at schema checking, and 2.1 and later are a lot more strict, so you may have some cleanup to do before the slapadd ...

There's lots of threads on point in the openldap-software archives. In general, threads containing "slapcat and slapadd" often refer to this...
Now would be an excellent chance to change from ldbm to bdb or hdb, unless you don't particularly care about data integrity, ability to do backups, etc.
