If you have a medium size to big forum then it will be better to export/import your database through ssh instead. That is if your host allows you such access. If it doesn''t then you can use another third party tool like musqldumper. It can be used for both importing/exporting a database.
Also after you have moved the db and forum files in the new server, do not forget to update the config.php file with the new db info.
Now at the new server, you want to use the newest version of vb 4.x or do you want to merge the contents of the 3.8.6 to an existing vb 4x forum?
