Migrating BIND to new hardware

There was no version 6.07 of BIND. The most likely versions would be 
BIND 8 or BIND 9 (the major version before that was BIND 4, but it's 
*very* old). If you're going from 8 to 9, then the doc/misc/migration 
file in the BIND 9 distribution gives some tips on what to expect and 
how to deal with it.
