Normally there should be no problem doing it this way. By the way it's the fastest way. Attention: do you use the same versions? (it should be not a problem I'm not sure) - nobody should work on the database while copying the files (check with ps -ef | grep sqlexec if someone working with the database). - after copying the database make some serious tests if everything is o.k.
