Sure just backup the mysql database and restore it to the new machine.
If the new machine is not running an identical version distro, then you must manually verify the values under Options->Paths are correct for the new machine.
Visit my blog for ZoneMinder related projects using the Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi, Odroid, and the ESP8266
