Well, I had issues with the transfer two different ways.  Then, as I tossed and turned in my sleep knowing the site was down, I realized I had been thinking inside the nice GUI tools too much, tools that were never designed for sites as large as this.

I have a new approach I’m going to use now, and it won’t require me taking the site down for more than about 30 minutes.

I’ve started the migration to the new server.  I’m not getting good feedback that anything is happening, but I’m not getting errors either.  Everything seems to have started off OK, so I’m going to cross my fingers and go to bed.

If nothing has happened by morning, I’ll turn the site back on and regroup.
