Migrating Wiki to new server

I created a Wiki on a test install of 10.5 server several days ago, which I'd now like to move to a new production server that's been set up.
Can this be done?
Where on earth is the data for the Wiki stored?
MBPs, Xserves, Mac minis, iMacs, fun!

You need to log in as root to do it. Just log in as if you were logging in to the administrator account on the machine and use root for user name and whatever the administrator password is. Go to Library/Collaboration/Groups and first change the metadata.plist file before replacing the folder content on your new machine. The only part you have to change is the GUID key to match the one on the new machine.
key>GUID</key>
<string>2B1FBAD9-7B14-4305-9EE0-B512FCE559F9</string>
Your string content will be different of course.
The string is what lets the server know which group it is for. Replace the string on the old metadata.plis with the string on the new machine for the same group or user. If you leave everything else alone from the old one you will be bringing over all of the settings too.
Leave the folders and only move the content, then fix the permissions to match the permissions on the folder that is on the new machine by propagating it in the sharing section of server admin. If you do not fix permissions it will not serve any of the wikis even if you only moved one.
