Summary of the issue you are facing:
I would like to migrate my instance to a new server. I have followed backup and restore guide here but database import fails everytime.
By doing
sudo mysql -u root -p nextcloud < /home/sysadmin/nextcloud241218.sql
First error, for example, is
ALTER TABLE `oc_filecache`
MODIFY `fileid` bigint(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, AUTO_INCREMENT=18987483
--------------
ERROR 1075 (42000) at line 4950272: Incorrect table definition; there can be only one auto column and it must be defined as a key
Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):
- Use backup guide for backing up your NC instance
- Try a restore
Nextcloud
The output of occ config:list system or similar is best, but, if not possible, the contents of your config.php file from /path/to/nextcloud is fine (make sure to remove any identifiable information!):

Tips for increasing the likelihood of a response
- Use the
preformatted textformatting option in the editor for all log entries and configuration output. - If screenshots are useful, feel free to include them.
- If possible, also include key error output in text form so it can be searched for.
- Try to edit log output only minimally (if at all) so that it can be ran through analyzers / formatters by those trying to help you.
