Often to upgrade to a new "Samba" Server or new version I will set up a drive with a fresh install of OpenSuse. (I may do this at a separate locate so upgrade isn't an option). Then I will copy (or restore from a backup). /srv (that is where all the data is) /etc/samba /etc/passwd /etc/group
That seems to work fine, Except the GUI login will usually not work.
Are there other files that should be transferred as well?

About /etc/passwd and /etc/group, don't replace the files with a backup, get a list of the non system users/groups and ADD them to the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files on the new server. Also make sure there are not major changes on samba configuration options between the two version involved. What about /home?
