I have Sharepoint2010 Enterprise, and SQL2008 on Windows Server2008R2.

I'm new to sharepoint Platform, im trying to move sharepoint 2010 from old server to new server.

On existing Sharepoint2010(Old Server) I have One Site collection on a Web app, lets say ABC on Sharepoint-80 Webapp.

I have installed Standalone Sharepoint2010 on new server. Do i need to create a site on New sharepoint2010 and restore the sitecollection backup? If yes how do i dot it with powershell? Can i restore with SQL backups?



I want to restore total SP and settings. Please Explain me how to move sharepoint 2010 to new server
Thanx in advance.

What I have tried:

I have tried Restoring Sitecollection backup on new server(Test Environment) from Powershell but it gives me an error saying
