Hosting change, keeping the backup of the server?

[lartdeschoix 7]

Hello,

I currently have a problem as a host,
we have big "roll back" relatively often ...
I would like to change host by keeping my backup.
Possible with FTP? I move files from one host to another?

Or roll back problem is on every server ?

You can certainly download your database via FTP if your hosting service allows it.

I am not 100% sure if your database is tied in anyway to your servers instance - I am pretty sure you can do it. Perhaps someone can confirm this? 

Either way to download the database connect via FTP then go to /mpmissions/dayzOffline.chernarusplus/storage_66435

downlod the storage_66435 folder with all its contents. This is the database. Then delete the storage_66435 from the new host via FTP and replace it with your database. I would advise NOT to merge the two databases, this will more than likely cause issues.

Lastly, do all database changes/saves/implementations etc with the server 'stopped' and not running to not cause any errors or data corruption.
