answer. But being a developer myself and understanding at least a little
about complexities of such a migration, my advice is to keep some kind of a
backup. As I'm using JOSM, keeping OSM files used for uploading to server is
not a big issue. And you probably don't need a daily backup, even if you
loose a day or two of your changes, I guess it's not a total disaster
(compared to the vast amount of data already in the system).
