[aklug] Migrating servers

Folks,

I'm in the middle of a personal server migration, and although it is
going well, it dawned on me that folks on this list might have a set
of best practices with regard to doing such a thing.

Anyone care to share?

Things that I'm currently moving and having to plan are:

  - IMAP mail
  - Printer queues (supports iPad/iPhone, Windows, OSX, Linux, PDF)
  - File shares
  - Virtual Machine Hosting (VMWare and VirtualBox)
  - Web Server(PHP, Ruby, others)
  - SSH access
  - Database (MySQL, Postgres)

I'm still in the testing phase of the new server to ensure all the
pieces work before I completely migrate the entire box.

Any ideas or gotchas would be helpful to hear.

Thanks.

Mike B.
