New server (cPanel to cPanel) transfer latest orders?

So I have my site all moved over to a new host via cPanel to cPanel and all works well but the migration took like over a day so all my orders are not up to date. What is the easiest way to sync that information? I really only care about the orders as I have not been updating the site to avoid issues during this time. I created a backup of the DB (within the CS admin area), uploaded and restored the file but that didn’t seem to do anything even after clearing the cache and deleting the cache folder.

If the old server site has the latest data, backup and restore should solve the issue.

Yes, I understand that but my site is rather large (20K products) so it takes a while to move everything. By the time everything is moved and DNS is changed new orders can happen. So I am looking to only update the minimum files to avoid overlap of missing orders.

Just update directly from database

Gotcha. What is the point of the backup/restore within the admin area if it doesn’t actually work?

Maybe it’s timeout due to wrong server setup.

Maybe. Would I see an error of some sort? If not, what settings should I be looking at to change? Kind of curious because if there is a problem with that then there may be other problems when I go live. I noticed my currency isn’t showing correctly either (another post on this forum) so want to make sure all the settings are correct before going live.
