Pre Migration Notes: [Important]

Backup Your Database

Please make sure to backup your database before proceeding with migration.
Example: 
mysqldump <database> -P <port> -u <username> -p > vtigerdbdump.sql
Setup New Database [Recommended]

If you want to keep your working installation un-disturbed, setup new database and
copy the data from your earlier install. Provide this new database name during the migration step.
Example: mysql -P <port> -u <username> -p
    mysql> CREATE DATABASE newdatabase DEFAULT CHARSET UTF8;
    mysql> USE newdatabase
    mysql> source path_to_vtigerdbdump.sql
