Everything is compatible as far as data files so you just need to replace the 
Mystic binaries from the old system with the new ones.  And then you have to go 
into mystic -cfg and change the paths.  The big ones I can think of are the 
System Directories section and also message bases have their path configured in 
each base I believe, and of course file bases have files stored places, etc.  
Basically anywhere that has a path will need updating but otherwise it is 
doable.

If the file system is the case sensitive like if you are moving from Windows to 
Linux then you need to make sure those match up too.

There is a little bit in the FAQ although it could be a little outdated.
