Hello,
Concrete5 has a guide in the documentation section
http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/installation/moving_a_site...

Also: I have used the add-on Backup Voodoo by Johnthefish from the marketplace

the backup voodoo is a Great tool for backing up everything you need to transfer and install a site to its new location :)


Edit: Also, if its a site with very little content,I've been able to just do a fresh install of Concrete5, upload the contents of my "Packages" folder (and Themes folder if needed) and the file manager images etc. followed by a quick "Cut & Paste session" using a split screen between the two sites. Its lots of work for a larger site, but for small site its quick with no old versions and clutter :)

The problem with doing a fresh reinstall of Concrete5 on the new server location is a lot of servers have database naming so the you have to use a prefix that may not match your old mysql - best to have a database mysql export of your old database and use import on the new one and then change the config.php file to whatever your new mysql is called.
Clear the cache on the site before back-up.

Also the thing that got me was in the database the file storage location is written in at some point on the work site and when you move it- you have to go into the Dashboard - System and Settings - Environment and click the File Storage Location and fill in your new file path. Also any images you have put in the blocks may need to be clicked on in edit mode to set the path to them.

I think this is also a great tool to synchronize your staging and production install:https://github.com/danklassen/consh...
