Todd,
You can use ${ZENHOME}/bin/zenbackup.py to make a backup .zip file
that contains:
- A copy of your events
- A copy of the device tree
- Performance information (rrd files)
You can run "zenbackup.py --help" to get additional options on what
you can pass to zenbackup.py.
zenbackup.py will produce a tarball, which you can then scp over to
the new machine. You can then use zenbackup.py --restore to expand
the tarball into the zenoss installation.
As for your latter question about a separate zenoss box... Depends
on how many devices you plan to monitor. I monitor about 40 devices
and run zenoss alongside nfs, samba, apache, mt-daapd, mysql, and
some other services.
If you're looking to monitor 500 devices you might want to allocate a
box just to running zenoss. :)

Is there a procedure or a README available about how to properly
migrate Zenoss data from one machine to another?
Also.. am I better off building a box that has Zenoss, and a lot of
other things running on it, or am I better off using the VMWare
appliance? (VMWare is already installed on the box, and installing
the appliance wouldn't be a difficult task.
Thanks,
