In princible, it should be to install using the debian-edu-expert mode
to install the minimal profile, install the backup software on this
new machine, and to update DNS to change where the backup CNAME
points. I suspect one also would need to update ssh keys or similar.
Finally, one should probably stop the backup service on the
main-server.
I have not tried this myself, so I do not know the details. If you
try, please write up the details in a howto on the wiki.
Happy hacking,
