As long as you have a backup of the database and site directory, you have
nothing to worry about. It's perfectly safe to install a newer version of
Review Board on the target server, copy the site directory over to the same
path as on the old server, and then do a 'rb-site upgrade'. It will upgrade
the database to Review Board 3.0.
(3.0 is the recommended version at this point.)
If you want to use the older version on the new server for now, you can
locate the site-packages directory containing the old Review Board install
and see the versions of the packages you were using there. You can force
the installation of the appropriate versions with:
sudo easy_install package_name==version
