Hi Antonio, Yes, you can migrate your DSpace to a separate server without upgrading if you wish. The steps would be the same as detailed at https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Migrating+DSpace+to+a+new+server The only difference would be that you'd just install the same version of DSpace on the new server.
You can also migrate & upgrade at the same time by following those same instructions (just install the new version of DSpace on the new server first... then migrate your existing data into the new version of DSpace as described in those instructions). Either way, I recommend testing the migration process first, as it'll help you learn more about the process. It also gives you the opportunity to ask more specific questions on this list if you run into things that are confusing.

We have a guide for both upgrades and migrations (to a new server) in our Documentation at: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Upgrading+DSpace https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Migrating+DSpace+to+a+new+server If this is not what you are looking for, then we may need more details about what you are trying to do.
