We have been experiencing high CPU issues with our installation of evergreen 
and it seems that we have some `flaws` in our installation. The server was 
being run on a Citrix Xen VM running Debian Etch. We have decided to acquire a 
new server whose sole purpose is Evergreen.

I haven't really seen any information on migration from one server to the other 
and I thought we might also want to upgrade from 1.4 to 1.6 while we're at it 
since we won't want to do that once we're in full production (this is our first 
automation system and we are ready to assign barcodes to our bibliographic 
records). Most of our collection now has MARC records and that is the only 
information we are worried about migrating at this point.


1.       My biggest concern is what should be the order in which I proceed. 
Should I migrate data to a server running the same version of Evergreen and 
then upgrade the server or should I install 1.6 on the new server and then 
migrate the data?

2.       How should I go about migrating the data in general? Are there scripts 
to move data from one server to another?

Thanks,
