    Here’s the way I have done this in the past using mysql replication

    Dump SQL on source machine with binary logging turned on (use the --master-data option) this will give you data at that point in time and allow you to import the data on your new server while new data is being populated on the old server.

    after the import (4 hours you said?) then you can START SLAVE on the new server and the new server will replay the binary logs and catch up to the old server and keep in sync until the actual switchover happens.
