  1. We did the same migration recently. It is definitely possible. Without much preparation it took us about 3 hours for a small server with about 30 users. If your new servers performance is on par with the new server, there should be no problem with your setup.

    This manual was the most helpful. Ensure that your backup is up to date and complete. Pay very close attention to the localconfig.xml migration.

    It seems likely that you might want to change the server hostname, which is not a trivial change for a Zimbra server. This link might be helpful.
