The trick (for me at least) has been to start off conservatively and
then as things look as though they are working well, begin to move
more of the normal activity over to the beta until it is the main
instance (assuming it works well enough for that <wink>).

So on an initial install I will leave copies on the server so that if
things crash badly I can still recover my email. When things have
worked well for a while I will start adding plugins, filters, macros
(actually I don't have many of those) and such and finally ... iff all
of the above work well, I will stop using the old install and start
clearing the server from the beta.

It is more work, I have not lost any data doing things this way.
