There's a FAQ entry or two on this, but the short of it is to copy the
data from $OLD_SERVER to $NEW_SERVER, and then fix-up.
I've not noticed anything too odd between slight versions, although it's
something to look out for.
For copying, I tend to use rsync.
As for fix-up, fix_url and sorting out archives (if applicable) should
be done. Perhaps also redirects (http & email) on $OLD_SERVER to
$NEW_SERVER.
