The simplest way to do this is via a [[SME_Server:Documentation:Administration_Manual:Chapter6#Option 8: Perform backup to USB device|Console Backup]] to a USB disk attached to the old server. Alternatively use one of the Backup & Restore options available in the server manager panel, i.e. backup to desktop, or backup to workstation (either to attached USB or network share). Other non-standard options exist to Backup virtual servers that do not have USB ports etc, and Restore to similar virtual systems, e.g. using SSH. Many virtual servers can also be configured to pass-through USB ports from the host to the hosted machines allowing a USB drive to be mounted, but this is an advanced topic and cannot be covered here: consult the documentation of the virtual host system in use.
