I’ve moved MT from server to server. THe move can be transparent with no data loss. The MT export includes comments. Do an export and open the file. You’ll see the comments.

Make copies of your stylesheet and modified templates too.

Yep, your comments should be exported from the database along with the enteries they belong to.

A more detailed explanation:

1. Put a fresh clean install on your new server, with all your settings the way you like.

2. Make copies (cut-paste to notepad) of all your templates (if modified) and stylesheet.

3. Do an export from your existing MT.

4. Paste your copied templates and stylesheet into your new install of MT.

5. Import your entries.

Easy as pie, and unless you’ve got some crazy hacks in your existing setup, it’s a quick move.
