We just went through this process. We simply copied the 1.2 index to the new server (while the 1.2 server was live---responding to requests and handling updates) and started it up with 1.3. It worked. I can't promise that you'll have the same experience, but it's worth a try. Also, if I were you, I'd assume that some of the documents will be lost, so I'd reindex any recently added documents.
