There seems to be an error in your SQL query. The MySQL server error output below, if there is any, may also help you in diagnosing the problem

ERROR: Unknown Punctuation String @ 7

SQL query:

when importing the .sql file backup, I get this error, anyone have a clue as to what its meaning is?

How was the backup created?
How is it restored?
What is the MySQL version on both servers?
How was the backup file transfered to the new host?

Through both phpmyadmin, and through the admincp (both got super similar errors)
Through PhPmyadmin
ver. 5.0.67
When you say backupfile...which are you asking about?

How large was the backup, phpMyAdmin can sometimes cause errors larger backups. SSH using mysql dump is the preferred method.

Are both the old host, and the new host using 5.0.67 MySQL

When you created the backup, you should have gotten a .sql or a .sql.gz file to restore on your new host. Did you upload it using a FTP, or are you trying to restore via phpMyAdmin?

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:
http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/m...nce_ssh_backup

Restore:
http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/m...ce_ssh_restore

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

MySQLDumper:

MySQLHotxcopy:
