Install Redmine and Migrate Data

Hello
I am currently using Bitnami Redmine on a Windows server system. The following version information:

Environment:
Redmine version 2.5.1.stable
Ruby version 1.9.3-p231 (2012-05-25) [i386-mingw32]
Rails version 3.2.17
Environment production
Database adapter Mysql2
SCM:
Subversion 1.14.1
Git 1.9.0
File system
Redmine plugins:
no plugin installed

Now I would like to install the latest version of Redmine (without Bitnami) and use SQL Server. Is it possible to migrate the data accordingly? How do I best proceed?
Or should I use the new version with MySQL?
Thank you for your support.

Many greetings, Thomas

Why don't you just take a look at Bitnami's documentation? Since this is an installation customized by them, they are also the best contact for the upgrade...

The reason is that I want to move away from Bitnami and set up an independent Redmine installation. Hence the question about migrating the data.

Then I would personally first switch to a version 4 and see if it works (if not with an intermediate step to V3).
The change/upgrade always follows the same principle:

Backup/copy database
Backup/copy all files in the files folder
Save/copy templates (adjust if necessary)
Get plugins in a compatible version

Good luck ;)
