It is not easy as the data is in RRD not MySQL. I would suggest you create an entirely new install and keep the old install available via another URL. The alternative requires deep knowledge of RRD.

However, there is a bunch of information available on this forum for how to transfer data. If you do want to look at that route, follow the keywords you would think about for "transfer" and "new install", but also look at "poller interval change" kind of keywords.

Look into the HowTo's forum. There are lot's of examples on how to do this. It's not that difficult. There is also a Bloom Plugin that does this.
