Supposing one runs a server on some server and wants to move it to another.

How can this be done without losing the flags (like stable, guard, named) and the progress to get a t-shirt, if certain conditions are met?

What files/folders have to be copied over?

Just install Tor on the new server and then copy over your torrc file and the files from the Tor data directory on the old server: https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#UpgradeOrMove The data directory is in different locations depending on your OS. On Linux it's located at: /var/lib/tor. You can skip the "cached-" files, copying them can cause some start up warnings on the new Tor instance.
