Thanks for taking time to look into my backup problem.
But I still have serious problem with backup and restore.
My wiki is customized with modification of the Special:Allmessages and two new namespaces.
I did the backup and restore as described earlier and I copied the LocalSettings.php over. But most of my defined templates have no content in it after the resrore. Some articles have no content either.
Any suggestions jc

database's name from the default 'wikidb' to 'chpwikidb' MediaWiki will detect there is a pre-existing database and try to upgrade it when necessary.
Also, the language setting MUST be the same as the original one!!
But Finally, the new mediawiki I restored on server

does not have all the info of the mediawiki on
Server

Would you pls kindly let me know what I did wrong.
First, you didn't say what was wrong. "does not have all the info" doesn't tell us anything specific.
Second, you didn't say if you have any customizations or custom configurations. These may very likely make a difference.
Copy your old LocalSettings.php and fix up the paths to be correct. Check for differences between the prior and the new one.
