It depends.  You may have a number of options,

Do the old and new servers use the same catalog DB?  If so, you may be
able to just copy them over and change the definition of the Pool
containing them.  If they're different catalogs, you could copy the
files and bscan them into the new catalog.  In general, the best time to
clone an old Bacula server to a new one is before you start writing
production jobs to the new server.
