I need to know how to backup a MySQL database and restore it on a new server. Can somebody point me in the direction of where I can find a good tutorial that is designed with a noob in mind?

Is it possible to backup MySQL databases using the control panel Ensim and/or possible to restore using the control panel Cpanel on the new server?

Also, will I run into problems backing up a modified/hacked 2.0.x VB database to a 3.0.3 database?

Does anybody know if it might be in my best interest to pay somebody to move the databases to decrease my sites downtime?

well the 2.0.x database might not be compatiable with vb3, remember to run the php file included with vb3 that checks db compatiability

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
