best way to transfer database ?

Hi,
i would like to know if there's an "easy " way to transfer my easysocial settings / images / Users/ messages / ui customization and everything related to easysocial, into a new database, so far if i do transfer everything from one site to the next it seems to break, and so i have to restore the backup.

Is it a matter of just saving out the tables with the _easysocial extension in the db and import them into the new database or am i missing something else ?

Do you think it would be possible to use two different databases (one for joomla and one for easysocial? ) or is an insane idea?

I tried with the export import , but it seems to only import few options so far.

any suggestions?
regards
