Noob Question - Can i transfer my XenForo when it's done to the dedicated server?

[DistortedDorian]

Hello! I want buy Xenforo license and setup the website on my PC but can i transfer MySQL database files and the Xenforo file to my Dedicated server when i'm done setting up the website or is it impossible to transfter MySQL files and would it be better to just set it up on the dedicated server directly?
Thanks.

You will need to export the database and import it, but yes, you can.

To properly backup the database, you will want to use mysqldump. Here are instructions:

It's very simple.

I installed XenForo on localhost, did the import from phpBB and then transferred it to my server.

All you need to do is copy the files and export/import the database.
