You can not backup & restore a single table. You will always need to backup/restore the entire database.

The only reliable method of backing up and restoring a database is with shell access via telnet or ssh. This is because backing up with a PHP script like that in the Admin CP or phpMyAdmin can result in PHP timeouts errors and an incomplete backup file. Please see the instructions here:

Backup:

Restore:

P.S. If you don't have shell access, some people have also reported success with these scripts:

I can't do that because the new host does not have telnet or ssh , and also I did before but do no remember , a single table "user" I have export and import without any trouble.
