Just move the entire directory from one system to the other. If you have hardcoded your IP in the config file change it to the new IP address. As long as the move doesn't take more than a few days your node should work just fine. When your node tries to connect to your peers they should see your same node ref on the new IP address and update their records. Also ARK's (Address Resolution Keys) work quite well and your node should insert a new ARK when it is runnning on the new IP, your peers that are firewalled should pick this up and contact you in a matter of hours. Keep the same port number if you can is my only advice. -- I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend, to the death, your right to say it. - Voltaire
