Marko, What you really wanna do?
If your db is squlite, you can just copy the whole app folder and sub-folders and put it in the new server with the same version of web2py and it should work... Just make sure you set properly the owner of the files and folders, permissions should stay the same (not affected when copy). If you want to make something else, like upgrade web2py version or move to a better DBMS like Postgres or MySQL/MariaDB, you will have more things and tests to do, but it should not be that difficult depending of the size of your database. Also depending of your web2py version you have feature like export/import the whole database : http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/6?search=csv#CSV-(all-tables-at-once) If you have relation between you table, you have to take care to not re-increment your records when import your backuped data...
