[tor-relays] Relay migration: best practices?

[tor at nullvoid.me]

Hello,

I operate a small family of relays, over the 5 years it's been very set 
and forget and easy to maintain.
Over those 5 years the servers have been cluttered with other half 
completed projects and general mess.

I plan on reinstalling the OS from scratch, and understand I must backup 
the "keys/ed25519_master_id_secret_key" and "keys/secret_id_key" in the 
DataDirectory. Then copy them over on the new server.

The hostname will change but the IP will stay the same. The server I am 
working on is not listed as a fallback directory server, but has been in 
the past.

Is there any other things I can do to disrupt the damage done to the tor 
network during this downtime? Especially to any clients using it as a 
bridge.

Thanks,
