1. Create a complete data backup for migration (e.g. to a file) 2. Make the backup available on the new machine (e.g. copy the file) 3. Create a database capable of holding the data from the backup using DBMGUI. Choose "Restore instance" in step 7 of 8. 4. Restore the backup with the help of DBMGUI. 5. Restart the db.
