Hello. I need help. My database size is 30.4 GB. And when I download the data base and move it not new place its not loaded. It gives some syntex error. I tried it with MySQL Big Dump. Is there any way to backup and upload it as it is. ??? I have root access to the server and using it with cPanl/WHM.

Instead of backup and restore of the entire database I will recommend you try backup and restore in smaller chunks. If possible try backup and restore of a table first before going for multiple tables.
If you have root access import by root is much better than bigdump or phpmyadmin create your dbname first then use this command mysql dbname < 30gb.sql
