[Handle-info] Moving servers



Title: Moving servers

Hi

From the FAQs:

**Copy the handles.jdb and nas.jdb files to the new server (assuming you don't want to have to recreate your existing handles). Run the Simple Setup again, then send the new sitebndl to hdladmin@cnri.reston.va.us, and your prefix (i.e., naming authority handle) will be updated with the new service information. The final step will be for you to home your prefix on the new server as described in the install.txt file.**

I don't find this completely clear. What I want to do is to move my handle server (and DSpace instance) to a new server but retain the same handle prefix both for existing items and for future items. Is this possible? If not what is the alternative, or are there any workarounds (requiring minimal admin time!)?

Thanks
