The best option is to copy the whole lot - every Samba TDB (but particularly secrets.tdb, passdb.tdb), every user directory, as well as the system user database (if using /etc/passwd, just the non-system entries). If you are a DC, then it should just 'drop in', once you get the users back in place.
