title: Moving Redmine from Azure to other server
body: <p>I have a running instance of <code>Redmine</code> at <code>Azure</code>. I created that as <code>VM</code> at Azure. It has Redmine as pre-configured, ready-to-run. It is currently being used by a team for project management. But I want to move that <code>Redmine</code> instance to another server, along with data. I couldn't figure out, how to properly do that. I looked for the solution and found <a href="http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/HowTo_Migrate_Redmine_to_a_new_server_to_a_new_Redmine_version" rel="nofollow">THIS post</a>, explaining how to migrate your Redmine. But it is not understandable, and I'm not sure if it is even applicable in my case <em>(azure redmine)</em>. Besides this, I am afraid if I mess with configuration, and it stops working, as it happened once.</p>
  
  <p>I have to leave current azure account, so I have two options:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Move existing redmine to new Azure server.</li>
  <li>Move existing redmine to new other server. <em>(preffered)</em></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Can somebody please provide me some guidelines/steps in order to accomplish my task? Any help will be appreciated.</p>
