popustda:
here it is.

So you mean, i download abantecart.rar and extract it on new hosting public_html and then i upload my manual_backup.tar and extract it in this folder also to overwrite the same files and folders, then i open config.php to enter my old salt key(or i do this after the installation is finished?), then open my domain in browser to start installation?  when installing i need to enter the same prefix as in my old AbanteCart. IS this correct or i am doing it completely wrong?

abolabo:
abantecart can do only backup of data.
For moving to another host you should do full database backup. Easiest way to do this via hosting provider CPanel or phpmyadmin.

popustda:
ok thanks

Important with using the TAR command :

Verifying Data as It is Stored

option -W
option --verify

  Attempt to verify the archive after writing.

This option causes tar to verify the archive after writing it. Each volume is checked after it is written, and any discrepancies are recorded on the standard error output.

Verification requires that the archive be on a back-space-able medium. This means pipes, some cartridge tape drives, and some other devices cannot be verified.

You can insure the accuracy of an archive by comparing files in the system with archive members. tar can compare an archive to the file system as the archive is being written, to verify a write operation, or can compare a previously written archive, to insure that it is up to date.

To check for discrepancies in an archive immediately after it is written, use the `--verify' (`-W') option in conjunction with the `--create' (`-c') operation. When this option is specified, tar checks archive members against their counterparts in the file system, and reports discrepancies on the standard error.

Just add -W to your TAR command to make sure it's 100% OK

So then, what is the use of making only a backup of data, (inside the admin)
if you can not use this backup for moving your web shop
to another host ? Same question for dump.sql,
what do we do with it ?
