Solved Forum Database Backup

Post by tibarian1995 January 15th 2012, 3:41 am

Hello,
I would like to request a backup of my forum's database, as some insurance in case something goes wrong (given the current forum's size). Also, I would like to try out how it would work in a phpBB enviroment, so I would also need some advice/help on how to transfer the current forumotion database into a phpBB (not a complete transfer, more of a copy to try some things out, the current forum needs to remain operational)

Not even sure whether such a thing is possible or not but if so, I'd really appreciate some help with this matter.

Thanks in advance. Smile

Download what? That just backup your forums to a certain date & time. It's a rollback.

That's the only way you can backup your forums.

Hello,

The database cannot be given. Please read this https://help.forumotion.com/t6668-forumotion-s-forum-databases

Since this topic is answer I'll go ahead and lock this topic.
