Hey Friend,

Sorry,What do you mean with "another machine"?

All you have to do is to have a backup of your database and your server files to keep all settings and data intact.

This might help you in backing up your database: LINK

1. turn off your server
   
2. make a backup of your SQL database(s) using mysqldump
   
3. compress your server files into a .zip or .tar.gz file
   
4. transfer the SQL backup and server files to your new server using SFTP or FTP
   Then on the new server:
   
5. install the programs rAthena needs (mysql, make, gcc, pcre, etc.)
   
6. setup MySQL database(s) and MySQL users
   
7. import your MySQL backup
   
8. unzip your server files backup
   
9. compile rAthena on the new machine
   
10. start rAthena
