    you have to steps to do your move:

    1- backup your database and recreate it to your new server with the same specs
    2- backup your entire directory and copy it to your new location...

    there is no tricky steps for a moving. if you did not change your domain name etc, there is no real chances to have bugs... only testing will give you the answer.

    CPanel has a built in backup that should work.

    A really really good tip before you switch woudl be to install a fresh and clean copy of MU on the new server and make SURE it works before importing all your data.
