I haven't had a lot of luck it this, even using custom SSIS packages. Instead I use customer stored procedures combined with sp_MSforeachdb for backup and maintenance procedures.

You can login onto Integration Service part of sql, then browse down to the stored plan and then export.

Then do the reverse on the new server to import. Make sure that there are no "original" server specifics in the imported SSIS package...

I would give it a test first before doing it in a production env.
