I am not familiar with the versions before 0.9.2, but you could try the
following:

On the old 0.9.1 system
- archive the old openca/var/crypto directory
- manually export the database (e. g. create a SQL dump)

On the 0.9.2.1 system
- extract the var/crypto directory
- manually import the database contents

Only the gurus here know if this will work (don't know if the
SQL schema has changed), but it is worth a try if the new machine
is still pristine and there is nothing to lose...

Good luck,

Martin
