To do it, in a console:
$ ejabberdctl dump /tmp/mydump.txt
There's also a page in ejabberd's WebAdmin

And similarly to recover it:
$ ejabberdctl load /tmp/mydump.txt

thanks for your answer but

Well, if you just want backups, you can simply copy the Mnesia spool files.

If your server is not too big, you can execute the backup command. Or the 'dump' command, which produces a text file that you can edit yourself, and then load it in the new server.
