Try the following steps

On your old file server, login as supervisor and issue bindfix command.
Bindfix will produce three files with extension ".old" in the system directory.
These are the backup files for the bindery. Copy these files to the new server
system directory and issue the bindrest command. This will restore the bindery
to the new server.
