Moving Zimbra VM to new server

Hello all,

First, I have been so pleased with the Zextras Suite. I never have to think about it. It just works.

So I have an Ubunutu 12.04 LTS based 8.6 install in a VMWare VM. I have built a new server that is running Hyper-V, so I need to convert the image file. My thinking was to do this overnight to minimize downtime, etc. But can I bring down the current VM, copy the image over, then fire it back up while I get the conversion done. Then backup anything on the old one and restore to the new before I bring it up on the network?

Does this seem like a logical way to do it?

I have thought about building a new VM from scratch and migrating, but it seems unnecessary since the current one has been running so well.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
