How can I migrate a large Confluence instance from Windows to Linux?

Question

We have a large Confluence 3.2.1 instance (5 GB database, 65 GB attachments) running on Windows 2003 32-bit server and MSSQL 2005. We'd like to migrate to RedHat 5.x or 6.x, probably with Oracle database. Is there a supported method for this kind of migration aside from XML export/import? Thanks

Just to close this out - everything worked fine, Lirria, your answer had the link I needed with all the answers - thanks!

I'm sure it will be fine - once you get the database connected the rest should be cake.

Thanks to all for the comments - I'm in the process of setting up a test instance of our Confluence production instance on a RHEL 5.4 VM. One wrinkle: we're initially going to try and keep MSSQL 2005 as the backend database (on a separate VM, obviously %>}). I'll let you know how it turns out.
