SL to Lion Upgrade Stall - Does Upgrading ever work?

I've been running Server across several versions.

Thought I'd try upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion, despite the fact that NONE of these upgrades ever work.

Apple didn't let me down - the upgrade to my Snow Leopard server stalls at "Upgrading Services" and won't proceed past this point.

I of course have a bootable backup, so I'm still in business but I need to have some clues from an experienced upgrader what I might do to assist this process to complete.

Alternatively, I may have to consider a migration although I'm not particularly experienced at this kind of server operation.
