Question about cpanel website hosting: I have a phpbb forum website, which I host with HostGator. I am moving to HyphyHost. I’ve moved regular html websites before through ftp, thats pretty simple, just download the files to my computer, then reupload them. But for this site, I have members and a mysql database. I read that you have to backup your database, but I dont know how to do it. I logged in to cpanel, and found where it says "Backup Wizard – Create a Full backup", but I dont know what to do after that, or where the backup goes, and I dont know what to do with the backup once its created. How do I upload it or set it up on the new host (the new host has cpanel too)?
Its asking me for the following info, and I dont know if I have to fill it all in or what:
Backup Destination: (Choices: Home Directory, Remote FTP Server, Secure Copy)
Email Address:
Remote Server (FTP/SCP only):
Remote User (FTP/SCP only):
Remote Password (FTP/SCP only):
Port (FTP/SCP only):
Remote Dir (FTP/SCP only)
I have phpadmin, how do I use it to back up things?
