Move Web Services Front-End

Does anyone know the steps to move the SQL RS web services front-end? The
back-end database will stay in its current location.
Thanks,
DougTake a look at this article:

Reporting Services on the new server just like you installed the original
server. Make sure you backup your ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB
databases, and also make copies of your configuration files and encryption
key in case you need them. Also, you should note that installing Reporting
Services on a server separate from where the SQL Server database resides
will require you have an additional SQL Server license.

to do it manually is possible but not trivial. The biggest gotcha would be
if you point to the existing database during setup. If you are planning on
doing this then setup will think you are joining a web farm, as long as the
original machine is still running then everything should be fine, if it is
not then you will fail to activate. The other option is to install the new
RS pointing to a new DB. Once the install is complete use RSConfig.exe to
point to the old database. You will also need to run rskeymgmt to extract
the key from the old RS and import it into the new RS.
