I've never done a move like that which is why I didn't comment on it. If I were to try it, I'd copy the folder to my harddrive, reupload it where I want it, run Install, shut down my live board, make a database backup, then I'd import a copy of my database to the new one created when I did the Install. Change the Site URL options. Change the StyleVar options. Change any file paths in Main CSS. Change the Attachment/Avatar/etc paths if they were stored in the file system. Test it out. Turn it back on.
That is just a quick blob on my initial thoughs on how I would do this.
