Yes can you generate a full backup from your control panel? - what control panel are you using. (if your site is not to big)

If you can't generate one, you can get a backup from your host, if you ask nicely

Thanks. You are showing up as licensed now.

Instructions for moving servers are in the online manual here:

Note: The only reliable method of backing up and restoring a database is with shell access via telnet or ssh. This is because backing up with a PHP script like that in the Admin CP or phpMyAdmin can result in PHP timeouts errors and an incomplete backup file.

Nonetheless you can give it a try with phpMyAdmin:
