Thanks Quanah, that was exactly I was looking for. The problem is, it only works if I copied the whole /etc/openldap/slapd.d from the backup machine to the restore machine.

Would that "slapadd -l backup.ldif" restore the /etc/openldap/slapd.d? If not, it will be certianly fail if restoring backup.ldf to a new machine which has different slapd.d.

You can backup cn=config using slapcat, as documented in the man pages. You can restore cn=config using slapadd, as documented in the man pages.
