I have a MOSS 2007 site hosted on a server. I would like to move it to a new server, databases and all. When looking for help, people generally say, ‘Just a run a backup, install MOSS on the new server and perform a restore.’ Is that good enough? I can’t seem to get it to work. What kind of options do I need to select when installing the new MOSS 2007? Do I need to attach the old databases? It’s a single server, not a farm, with four site collections.
Good write up here:

Make sure the source server and the destination server are the same version (including service packs and patches).
