The images, which are the "heaviest" part, I have in S3 so I don't have to move them, and therefore the backup/restore should be less complex and shorter, I think.
Most important when moving servers is the TTL of your domain's DNS. It instructs other servers on how long they should cache your domain's IP.
I'd set it to 5 minutes now. And when you're ready to actually move you can put it down to seconds so that everyone else can immediately get the IP of the new server.
