9. Prepares copy of old_domain's database for new_domain
10. Dumps old_domain's database using wpdbdump.sh
11. Creates a copy of the old_domain db backup to be modified for new_domain
12. Switches table prefixes in copy to match new_domain's wp-config.php prefix
13. Preserves new_domain's wp-config.php file for swapping into old_domain's source directory
14. Replaces new_domain's source code with old_domain's
15. Nukes new_domain's source code
16. Extracts old_domain's tar into new_domain's place
17. Nukes any updraft backups or logs in new_domain
18. Replaces all mentions of old_domain in new_domain's source code with new_domain
19. Overwrites new_domain wp-config.php file with preserved version
