Backing up & Restoring in phpadmin

[am-fs]

hello
I have a small forum up, I just got a bigger server,l so i need to transfer data over to the new server.
I did a back up in phpadmin since i cant used telnet/ssh
my forum has 22 members & about 35mb in size.
it 35mb to much for phpadminback up & restore?
because i dont get this at the botton
### VBULLETIN DATABASE DUMP COMPLETED ###
on the both servers vb 3.07 is installed and was able to back up the new account but it dont matter because nothing is there.
or can any one give me a link to show me the step of transfersing data to another server & restoreing it? or explain it
thanks

do u have cpanel on your server m8 if so u can do a complete site backup that way and even download your databases though it.

Im positive phpmyadmin wont touch your database at 35 megs - but 35 megs is quite small for a database and nothing to stop you from loading it into a text editor such as Ultra Edit and cutting and pasting sections into phpmyadmin and then running each section seperate.Had to do this a few times myself in the past and it works.

Failing that get your host to dump your database in the root and then download it.That way you will know you got a good copy.

Thanks for the quick repile lasto
Cpanel = ?
Im not sure
i have a control panel for VB
also im useing 35mb out of 600mb on my server
when i backup my data from vb
the download is 5mb, so i was off on the size
Im completely new to this, it took me 5 days to get VB up on the new server all because I didnt have locahost in my config file ( had the ip#)
Thnaks again

if u are using 35 megs on your server then it dont mean that your dataabse should be 35 megs in size m8 as the actual vb folder uses space up on the server so this all counts to the actual size.

if u need any help setting it back up - am willing to talk you though it.
