Problem restoring no sql.sql or perm.txt

HI I am trying to move pinkcricut.com from a bluehost server to a godaddy dedicated server.  I have successfully backed up and moved the backups, but I cannot find certian components.  HEre is what it is telling me.

Unable to read the database backup file /home/pinkcric/public_html//administrator/backups/database-sql.sql , database was not imported!

Could not set permissions! Permissions file /home/pinkcric/public_html//administrator/backups/perm.txt not found!

and now when I try and go the new build the site is downloading a downloader.

 

Why is this happening?

You should check the following:

 

1. backup has the same size as on the original host

2. disk space available, usually it should be at least twice the backup size

3. safe_mode disabled on the new host

4. open the backup archive on your computer and check if the administartor/backups directory has the missing files

 

Hope it helps! Ovidiu

So I just checked... my database.sql.sql files are not contained in the .tar files being downloaded.  How do I get it to backup, even without compressing it?

Nevermind... I had the backup restore sql misnamed.  It's working now.

 

Thanks
