Yes, go 7.9 right away ;-).

You should be able to copy most files. Check Settings/Information to see
where things are stored.

Alas I would not copy the library.db from the cache folder. I'd just
bite the bullet and run a re-scan. And after copying the server.prefs
file you should remove the server_uuid value from it. Just in case you
happened to run both instances in parallel at some point. That's the ID
used by the players to identify a server instance. It must not be
available twice.
