When I imported my very small testing database onto a new server it said it succeeded. When I go into the forum page I expect to see the old members and old threads. Right? After all if I want to transfer my forum onto a new server, then what's the scope of backup.

But in my case NOT. I only see the freshly installed vbulletin on my new server but not the treads and users.

What am I doing wrong?

In just a few words: I want to export my data and transfer it on a new database/server so I won't lose anything from my old forum

Did you try restoring the database via phpMyAdmin or SSH?

could anyone tell us about their experience in that field ?
And if by chance anyone made a SSH or Linux script or maybe Cron that's automate that process , I hope that I know about it ..

Uhh I'm not really sure what you're talking about.
