Copy the SP2 Portal File System and then Migrate??

Hello All,

Is it possible to copy the EP6SP2 Portal FileSystem and the SQL Database on the other host and then migrate start the migration process from this host. I mean to create the export file from this new host(where we copied the fileSystem and the DB). Because anyways we have to shut down the portal while migrating, so i think this can be done..

Any ideas.
