Backing up a self-hosted Wordpress installation

I have a wordpress instance that runs on a VPS I own, so I have full (root) shell access.

Let's say I want to backup and restore my wordpress content so I can move it to another server.

What do I need to back up?

My guess is -

Thanks!

If you have access to the wp-admin site I recommend migrate with this plugin wp-clone, this is the one that I use. If you don't have then you do what you said:

  1. Migrate the wp-content and the mysql database.
  2. Install wordpress in the new server and change the wp-content and the new database with the old one.
