Sorry Alfred. Been kind of sporadically responding to e-mails (been out a lot the past few days and away from home at the moment). Didn't mean to drop yours on the floor.

If you transplant the old database to the new server without modifying it, and then do an rb-site upgrade on the new site, it should perform the upgrade just as it would if you left it on the first server. > >> Are the steps to do this documented anywhere?

That seems like it should work fine. If there are issues, at least you have the old server to fall back on. >> >> Also, how do I install and configure memcached on additional CentOS 6.4 >> servers?

I have it running on 2 servers right now for one setup, and I just have the memcached servers listed in the General Settings page as host:part, separated by semicolons.
