Backing Up My Quiz Bank~

My school is going to move the moodle website from their in-house server, to a hosting service company ... As such, my moodle data, particularly my Quiz Bank and user accounts have to be migrated too ...

I have about 5000 questions in moodle and I'm afraid that i'll lost them all during the transition ...

Any kind soul can advice me on how to backup my Quiz Bank? ..
I have tried using the "Backup" in the Administration Panel, but during the "Backup summary" page, no quiz were backed up .... strange

Thanks in Advance ...

The course backup does not backup all the data in a course (a design decision by Eloy that I do not entirely understand). For example if you have categories of questions where none of the questions are used in a quiz in the course, these are not backed up.

In any case, for transferring a Moodle installation to a new server you should not be using the backup mechanism but instead should dump the entire database to an sql file and load that up on the new database server. Then you should also ftp over the entire moodle data directory. If your site will have another URL after the move then you will also want to do a global search and replace on the sql file, replacing all occurrences of the old URL by the new one, before loading it onto the new database server. See also the BackupFAQ on MoodleDocs.
