If you're moving an existing site I'd just copy the files from the backup to the new webserver and then check the web.config for the connection string. Make sure you've restored your DB somewhere and the settings are correct for your new server.
Try to do this locally first with IIS so you can get used to the process.

Hi Anthony,
Sounds like you're new to Umbraco. I suggest you follow this tutorial and then see if it all now makes sense.

I take it you've updated your web.config with the new database server name and with credentials that match?
Can you manually connect to the db using Management Studio using the connection details in your web.config?
