[Koha] Problems restoring a backup to a new server

[akafortes]

How dis you create the backup? Did you use mysqldump or did you use the koha
commands? 
For the .gz file try using gzip -d {path_to_backup_file}/koha_library.sql.gz
then you'll get a koha_library.sql file which you can use to restore the
database
