A simple rsync should do the trick. How long will depend on how much
data you have. I would just shut down the server, copy over the data
directory and start the new server up. Should be a piece of cake.

I have a MySQL 5.x box and I am thinking about moving it to another more
powerful server. I would be able to schedule some downtime so that's not an
issue. How complicated a process would this be? I don't want to upgrade the
software or anything, just move the existing tables, users and permissions
to another physical server. It would even have the same IP address.
Thanks,
