Unfortunately, I was going from 3.0.0 to 3.4.1. The migration was 
definitely required. As I was going through the steps, however, I began 
to wonder what would happen if the database was on another machine. I 
didn't see an option for specifying a different database name nor a 
different server unless they are being taken from the RT_SiteConfig.pm file.
