For various reasons backup and restore should be done with command-line tools
slapcat and slapadd which operate directly on the database files.

And yes, with recent backend modules like back-mdb and back-hdb you can do hot
backup while slapd is running.

Of course, before a restore you have to stop slapd and remove the DB files.
After using slapadd you should check whether ownership/permissions are still
correct.
