thanks @umair
I’d like to ask some points,

  1. How could i generate a latest backup file? as recent checking, there is only one back file since last month atm, showing as below:
    /backups/20170215_011211_d6023943_database.sql.gz

  2. What is the step “Setup new ERPNext instance on server 2”? Is it creating new site using following instruction,
    https://frappe.github.io/erpnext/install.html

Thanks again.

Hello Umair,

I tried a simple method. I downloaded a database backup then uploaded it to another fresh server. I ran force restore command and it worked.

But my question is why do I need to run the “Migrate” command as I’ve already got everything? [I tried though, got errors]
And what kinda files are save in this private and public folders? What happens if I don’t restore them to my new server?

Can you help me out here? I’m very new to all this.
