This will include data but a variety of other things will not be included.
It will have the data of the theme to use but not the theme itself.
It will have the modules data but not the files.
It will also have the links to the images, but not the images themselves
It will not have the correct config files to connect to that database.
In short, it is possible to do this, but requires a number of manual operations to make it work.

No, it won't import the theme, because theme is mostly about files.

So it's no good for what I need.
I need to export products, reinstall Opencart and theme to a new server and then import the products to that server.
So I think I should use a module
But there is absolutely no way any of your files can have been imported via the database.
There may be links to things (although they will be broken if the config file is not changed)
There also may be OCMOD changes that are also in the database (as I mentioned above) BUT NO FILES - FILES THEMSELVES ARE FILES - they are not database data.
So if the issue is that it has imported some theme data - and you are thinking this is files - I suspect you need to clear out your modifications (and possibly delete them)

1. What is the safest way to make a backup of a shop that has say about 1000 products. in order to migrate it to aq new server. Database export I understand is not enough (for instance if I was to export the database at a good configuration, then install a Opencart to the new server, make all the settings and install all of the modules, and then import the database from the .sql file. Would that do it?) Or should I use a product export module in order to export all the products, and then install opencart and all that it takes and then import the products through that module?
2. Is there a way to see in the admin backend, how many products lie in each categories? Woocommerce shows that.
Thank you in advance.
if you have ftp you can do it yourself
if you have database access you can do it yourself
both can be searched using google
As far as how to set that up to create a new site, I already answered that in my first answer, so I am not going to repeat myself.
2. Not that I can think of off hand as a place specifically, maybe someone will tell me I am wrong.
I know there are some modules around that have added a count, filters, category in product list. So maybe a module will exist. You can search in the marketplace - "admin products by category” - or - "filter product by category” - maybe something for free exists.

You can see how many are enabled via the front end

From your questions I can tell that you don't know enough to manage this successfully so you should probably pay a developer such as ourselves or post a job in the Commercial Support Forum.buburuzza wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 1:47 amOK. So two a bit offtopic questions:

Your theme may produce some errors, and it even refuses to function any longer.
So, you need to have a full backup if something has to be changed back to defaul
Let me just say this:
If I, say, :
-copy all files and folders from the publichtml (or www) on my webserver through FTP on my PC
- export database from phpmyadmin
Then, on a new server, copy all the opencart files that I took through FTP
edit the config files with the new database details
import SQL database
Would I be good to go?
Thing is now, I got my hands on a webserver that I intend to use for testing only, before I actually migrate the real store. And I will try to do that just to see that it works.
I am interested in migrating all the products, categories as well as all the settings and modules... Do you think doing it this way will also transfer my settings and installed modules? Or would I have to install the modules once again and make all the settings again?
Thank you greatly for your support.
