   Hi,

   I'm sorry to be a bother, but I need to move servers over the next few days, and now I'm having trouble backing up my wordpress blog. Pretty much I do the full export on my working site, and do the import on my new one, and only half the posts show up.

   I don't know what to think. I'm not sure, but is it possible to go at this another way? Like drag and drop ALL the files, and backup the sql databases with phpmyadmin instead, or something along those lines?

   Thanks for your time!

   1) You can import your Posts in a XML format.

   Also, backup your wp-contents folder and restore at the new blog

   2) Second method: Backup your database using PHPMyadmin or MySQL administrator.

   No, there is no drag and drop method.
