The following commands will create a db dump of the flowsec configuration. The only thing you should be prompted for is the 'myipfix' password. This will then create the file flowsecdump.sql in your current folder.
pg_dump --host 127.0.0.1 --username=myipfix --exclude-table="macaddressvendors" --exclude-table="userevent*" --exclude-table="systemhealt*" --exclude-table="savedreportdata" --exclude-table="netflow*" --exclude-table="arp*" --exclude-table="cam*" --exclude-table="searchip*" --exclude-table="all*" --exclude-table="events*" --exclude-table="all*" --exclude-table="profilingstats*" --exclude-table="summary*" --dbname=myipfix --clean --create --file=flowsecdump.sql
When restoring (this will drop the existing database on the server!!), stpo the flowsec service, use the flowsecdump.sql file, upload to new machine and execute the following (supply the 'myipfix' password when prompted)
psql --host 127.0.0.1 --username=myipfix < ./flowsecdump.sql
psql --host 127.0.0.1 --username=myipfix -c "delete from serverparams where key in('serverid','installtime','license')"
now restart flowsec.
