Moving Blesta To A New Host, New License

[gunnston]

Hello!

I am currently in the process of switching hosting companies.  My 'old' hosting company supplied a complementary license to Blesta and I have since been a big fan.  

My new hosting company doesn't offer the same 'deal,' and I will be purchasing a license.  

My question is, I've been looking at two articles describing process and I'm not positive which one I should use.

• https://docs.blesta.com/display/user/Migrating+to+Blesta

I have been backing up my current installation of Blesta regularly, but from what I've read I cannot just import from a backup.  Is this correct?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  This is the last piece of the puzzle in switching domains.  

Thank you in advance.

You need the moving blesta docs, just copy the blesta files over including the config files and the database.

It depends on your backup. If you follow this guide though, you should do well - https://docs.blesta.com/display/user/Moving+Blesta

If your backup has all of your Blesta installation files and your MySQL database, then your backup should have all you need, but it could be a little out dated depending on when your backup was performed.
