Hi,
What would be the steps to transfer data from linode to digital ocean ? I am using postgresql and have gone through this https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/migrate-your-current-vps-linode-rackspace-aws-ec2-to-digitalocean but it does not seem to help as when I dump the databse the file seems to be empty .

If you are using Postgres, the commands will differ from MySql. To dump the database (and compress it), run:
pg_dump dbname | gzip > filename.gz
Then you can restore it on your new server with:
cat filename.gz | gunzip | psql dbname
Check out the official Postgres docs on backing up.
