 * Hi,
 * I was wondering if there is a way to just back up the post and comments. Do a
   fresh install in the new server, restore the post, install the theme and plugins?
 * Thanks

 * That thing doesn’t export everything though, does it?
 * What about settings for images and stuff?

 * to get everything you must use a database back up

 * I’m afraid you didn’t understand what I mean. I can get all the files like pictures
   and uploads from my FTP panel, I just want to know if there will be any problems
   like picture not showing up when I try to restore the posts.
 * I don’t want a complete database backup
