[Xymon] Server migration

[Ricardo Stella]

No problems in missing some client data. I guess I could set up the new one
to make sure everything works, then move the real data and change IPs?

Reason for testing is that this old box was upgraded from hobbit and even
from BB. Some clients are hobbit versions using bb structure. I've set BB
up eons ago, then a few admins took over. Positions cut, now it's back on
my belt.

TIA.
