need to move to a new machine

[Aussie John]

Hi - I am likely to move to a new machine (probably Mac Mini server+thunderbolt array) running Lion. Will I be able to just move over the "Filemaker server folder' or are there other system/prefs files that will be required to be moved. All the data files are currently on a separate drive. cheers

Move nothing related to the FileMaker Server executable itself. Do a fresh install on the new machine. If the old machine is running FileMaker® Server 11, save your schedules for import to the new installation.

Thanks

How can I save all the other console settings or will I need to reconfigure those.

IIRC, it's only the schedules, including backups and server side scripts, that you can save. Everything else must be reset. Depending on the comparison between he two machines, this may not be 100% duplicative.
