Yes, but with a caveat. If you change architecture, your rrd files might not survive. If you go like for like e.g. x86 to x86, you should be fine. However, you will have problems if you migrate from X86 to Sparc, or vice-versa. There is a workaround, but I would rather have my head set on fire, and put out with a sledghammer.
If you are going to the same OS, and the same hardware, then it's full steam ahead, and f*** the icebergs. Make sure your new server has all the prerequisites for Hobbit installed. Install Hobbit. Check it starts, then shut it down. Now simply shut down the old Hobbit installation, copy the data and config files, and start up the new one.
Your data will include ~/server/etc And /wherever/you/put/hobbit/data Don't forget any custom scripts in ~server/ext
Make sure the clients are pointing to the new server. The easiest way is to change the IP address of the new server to look like the old. Failing that, change DNS or host lookup to point ot the new server.
You should then be back in business.

You have to export every rrd file as xml, and then re-import them on the new platform. The base commands are rrdtool xport and rrdtool restore. Getting the options correct is non-trivial.

You are a glutton for punishment, aren't you?
You have to use rrdtool and export the data from every .rrd file into an XML file. Then copy the XML dumps over to the new server, and import them back into .rrd files of the same name.
The issue has to do with Solaris/Sparc being big-endian and Linux/Intel is little-endian, and how the data is stored on different architecture. Read more here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big-endian (If I try and explain, I will probably stuff it up. It's late here)
You can read more about the migration here. http://osdir.com/ml/network.smokeping.user/2003-06/msg00019.html You can script it to make it easier, but your migration will take a LOT longer.

For each rrd data file - rrdutile dump <filename> >unloaded filename; then move the ascii xml file you just created to the new platform and run rrdutil restore - see the rrd manpages for the proper syntax. And it's not that hard to script the whole process.

DCDiags and NetDiags are the basic tests to run. I run them both every morning using the VBscript below. I have hard coded in the ignore of some error messages that may not suit your application. I run the script as a scheduled task and it saves the flag(log) file to the path specified in the registry by BBWin (the big brother log path).
You need to make sure that BBWin (or the Big Brother client) is looking in the same directory. The original code at the being that gets this has been commented out and replace by the GetBigBrotherPath function. I would clean up the code but wouldn't be game to post it with out testing it first.
Hope this is the sort of thing you are after.

Thanks Graeme Really appreciate it.
I have passed this on to out Windoze scripting guru to implement. Will let you know how he fares.
Why have you not put this on The Shire? If it does what it says on the tin, it's a winner, and I am sure others will find it handy.

DCDiags and NetDiags are the basic tests to run. I run them both every morning using the VBscript below. I have hard coded in the ignore of some error messages that may not suit your application. I run the script as a scheduled task and it saves the flag(log) file to the path specified in the registry by BBWin (the big brother log path).
You need to make sure that BBWin (or the Big Brother client) is looking in the same directory. The original code at the being that gets this has been commented out and replace by the GetBigBrotherPath function. I would clean up the code but wouldn't be game to post it with out testing it first.
Hope this is the sort of thing you are after.
