If she's worried that the US government is going to take down the forum and if you get things squared away I highly recommend using offshore hosting. People think it's bad because people use it for DMCA ignoring sites, but if it's hosted offshore there's literally nothing the US government can do about it. Just some food for thought. I hope you can figure things out, there's plenty of people here who have moved websites from one host to another, I'm one of those people btw.
It's very easy to download a backup, and install a site on a new server. I've done it countless times.
The owner should already be downloading regular backups. It's risky not too, you can lose all your hard work.
An update on this. I got this email from her:
Link from the ss: https://eutm.com/forum3/
What could cause this issue for her and how to fix it?
Once more, this is the OG forum: https://eutm.com/forum/

She should just zip the files, export the database through cPanel and upload those two files on the new server.
Then you'll need to edit the config file so that the database is correctly pointed on the new server. She also must not forget to make a database user and give the correct rights.
It seems that she's making a bit of a mess where there shouldn't be any. She's probably lacking the knowledge to do it, but it normally isn't a difficult job.

I am unsure if she is going for a new server now, I think it is on the same one, maybe? She just kept the OG version read-only but wanted a copy of it running (for some reason). Now, she has a hard time doing that. Does your answer change based on what i just said or?
Trust me, at this point I am getting confused as well. First, she was telling me she is afraid that Trump administration may ban the forum considering they started really harsh on banning things. So she doesn't want to be involved in any lawsuit or whatever. She wanted to move to another server. I am unsure if she still does want that.No, I’m getting really confused here.What does she want to do? Move it, not move it, restore it?
She has some experience with it because she had to do this for years but clearly not as much as you do. Do you want me to add you in our CC?
Trump isn't going to ban the forum. It's a peanut to what he is involved in. Why would he care about a few online users? She shouldn't be worrying about that. If anything, I think she's a bit paranoid in that aspect. First I'd ask her what her goal is. Does she want to continue, on a new server or not? Or does she want to hand it over to someone else, like yourself?
Do you want me to join us in a new email chat or? I feel like a middle man with a very slow communication system.
She thinks like that because the forum is related to paganism , witchcraft and Trump and his party are all pro Christianity. I know she is paranoid, clearly.
