Using the eBox backup tool I supose that it would do the trick, since it's all saved in the LDAP DB, but I've never used it, so that's why I advised you to test it first, also to ensure that your client pc's will work fine and transparent with the new server. Build a Virtual Machine in an isolated Subnet (I strongly don't advise to have duplicated SID's on the same subnet, clients get confused!!!) and do the test.
