You could definitely do a backup (on old server) and restore (on new one) http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Backup_and_Restore then upgrade your installation if needed.  I have done this procedure and it worked nicely for me.

i tried backing up as per the Wiki mentioned above. I took a Backup of the DB followed by Folder. (i just copied the folder as sis to the new location). I restored the DB using the Restore Functionality in MySQL GUI Tool. i got the following Error in the logs..
