I'm looking for a good step-by-step HOWTO to use Backup and Migrate to move my site from one server to another. This includes a custom theme, a custom module, and several other added modules. This might seem to simple to be worth documenting, but I'm a bit nervous.

I've found http://www.jimmyzhou.com/blog/moving-drupal-site-from-localhost-to-shared-hosting and it looks pretty good.

Any recommendations for other guides to migrating using this module? Thanks.

That tutorial looks right. There are 3 parts of your site to worry about: 1) Your db, 2) Your files/code 3) Your settings.php file

As long as you've copied all the files of the original site, copied the db and updated your settings.php on the new site then you should be good to go.
