Hi Jimmy,

You should be able to simply use Postgres's standard tools for importing
the database onto the new server (or perhaps even just copy all the
underlying files).

Once you have the old version's database on the new server, and you have
the new version of Review Board installed, you'll need to make sure you
copy the site directory from the old server to the new one and then edit
the site directory's conf/settings_local.py file to point to the new
database.

It's important that you do copy the site directory over, as it contains the
file attachments, some data files, and the key used for encryption for that
install.

Then, you just run `rb-site upgrade /path/to/sitedir` to have Review Board
upgrade the database schema from the old version to the new one.
