I agree with the nervousness.  Good backups before leaving, and
available resources (boxes) at the destination relieve that a bit.

And there is always the the fact that we could copy everything form
evolt.org boxes to temp boxes at the destination before shutting down,
with or without going live during the haul (more backup is good).  Going
live during haul (or shipping) means resyncing after arrival, startup
and test of evolt.org boxes.  That could be a considerable task when you
consider the amount of traffic on thelist and it's archives.  Add to
that the other lists with archives, the article submissions, signups . .
