Why write this up?

Surely this is documented elsewhere. Sure, it is, but as I worked through this on my own, I discovered that the official MIAB guide is missing a key point on achieving a successful restore/move of an MIAB instance.

MIAB’s “Moving to a New Box/Testing Backups” is where you start, so that’s where I started this journey. For completeness, I’ll repeat the steps given in the MIAB maintenance guide, but make some notes along the way.
