I have to change hostingprovider in a short time. If I make a copy of database and upload vbulletin to the new server along with database will all posts and all admin-settings then be the same as on old server?

Instructions for moving servers are in the online manual here:
Note: The only reliable method of backing up and restoring a database is with shell access via telnet or ssh. This is because backing up with a PHP script like that in the Admin CP or phpMyAdmin can result in PHP timeouts errors and an incomplete backup file. Please see the instructions here:

Restore:
P.S. If you do not have telnet or SSH access, some people have reported success with these scripts:
MySQLDumper:
MySQLHotxcopy:
Bigdump (restore only):
