samba - Oct 2011 - Porting samba setup to backup server

I must set up a backup server for failover and have used tdbbackup to create
backup files from the functioning primary server. I then copied the files to the
backup server and used tdbbackup to restore all the databases, along with
copying the smb.conf and other text files from /etc/samba. This does not seem to
work and I was hoping someone could assist.
Primary server is RHEL 5.4 with Samba 3.3.8-0.52.el5_5.2, and the backup server
is also RHEL 5.4 but has Samba 3.5.4-0.83.el5_7.2 (different version as used yum
install samba3x months apart and different versions were installed from the
RedHat repository).

Thanks for any help.

Fixed - shutdown smb, nmb and winbind; then removed erroneous secrets.tdb as
well as the passdb.tdb in privates; restarted smb which re-created secrets.tdb,
then shutdown smb, ran tdbbackup -v to restore the passdb.tdb and restarted smb,
nmb and winbind. All good with slightly re-configured smb.conf to avoid name
confusion.
