#5 peform a netvault database backup
#6 check that the backup was sucessful
#7 rename the netvault database directory to a temporary name
#7 uninstall netvault
#8 re-install netvault into the new location with the SAME netvault server name
(if you don't do this the old database will be unuseable)
#9 shutdown netvault
#10 check that the 'old' database directory that you re-named is still intact
