[URGENT] Regarding server change

Basically I'm going to be swiching server but I will take a full back up including all the files then restoring it on the new server.
Well that damage SEO? Or well it be ok?

That's fine. Just complete it as fast as possible to minimize down time. Verify and re-verify everything is running smoothly on the new server. Make sure you back up your vBSEO settings and restore them as the same.

I see.
Thanks

I have already saved those XML files.
Thanks alot joe.
I'm going to be swiching server's tommrow and changing server-address.
The DNS will take time to update. Which will cause some people to not be able to connect to the site. Since the DNS takes time to update then the searh engine bots won't be able to connect. That would be like 1 day down time. I think this would be very bad.
Anyone know how I can avoid this or for the DNS to update faster?

You should keep your old server running until NS propagation is completed. In this was some users (and may be search engines) will access old site, but will not get connection errors.
Also, reduce the TTL parameter for your domain NS while moving the hosts: http://www.ducea.com/2006/05/21/movi...imum-downtime/

May I ask what NS propagation is?
Also did you mean old server? Cause it going to be the same site.
I'm going to be restoring everything on the new server first. Once everything is perfect and done. I will need to change the server-address but that will need alot of time for the DNS to refresh.

NS propagation is the process of transferring information of domain name changes overy the internet. Yes, I mean the old server.

But when NS propagation is in process I don' think my old server will work with it since It not connected to it.

Is it possible to do a seamless move of servers?
