Do you want the files or not?
The first post sounds like you don't, in that case you'd need to truncate the image/oldimage/archive tables. This will remove all registration of the files. Clearing memcached (or whatever cache you use) might be needed to.
Can I just use this SQL? TRUNCATE TABLE image; TRUNCATE TABLE oldimage; TRUNCATE TABLE archive;
Is it safe to do, wouldn't it be a problem with referential integrity and broken references?
You can copy the files over with copyFileBackend.php from the old backend to the new one. The "src" backend would be the default upload backend name (just dump $wgFileBackends in eval.php to find it) unless you configured it otherwise and the "dst" backend would have to be added to $wgFileBackends and point to the new server somehow (such as via NFS or removable media).
Thanks, didn't know about that!
