How do I migrate my database to a new server?

Migrating a database involves several steps. First, you need to back up your current database. Have you done that?

Not yet. What’s the best way to back it up?

You can use tools like mysqldump for MySQL or pg_dump for PostgreSQL. Which database are you using?

I’m using MySQL.

Great! You can run mysqldump -u username -p database_name > backup.sql to create a backup. Do you need help with the next steps?

Yes, what do I do after backing it up?

After backing up, you can transfer the backup file to the new server and then restore it using mysql -u username -p database_name < backup.sql. Let me know if you need more details!
