You should be able to make a tarball of the database directory
(while slapd is not running), copy the tarball, and unarchive
without problems.  scp(1) might work as well, but I am not sure
of its internals.

Note that database files are both OpenLDAP and Berkeley DB version
specific... and should be on local filesytems.
