This is actually a very easy process, backing up the database is done with the following command:
smigrate -w http://server[/site] -f filename.fwp -u domain\id -pw *
This will prompt you for your Domain password, enter it and it will begin backing up your site.
Migrating a site:
1. Create a new virtual server in IIS and add the appropriate host header
2. Open Sharepoint Central Administration and click “Extend an existing virtual server..” link.
3. Click on the name of the virtual server.
4. Click on “Extend and create a content database”
5. In most cases the existing Sharepoint Application Pool is fine, enter email address and click OK
6. Click on the link to go to the site you just created, do not pick a template, you can just leave it at this screen
7. smigrate -r -w siteurl -f filename.fwp -u domain\id -pw *
8. Double-check site permissions
