Forum backup / migration

by Brian January 9th 2008, 7:01 pm

Hi all, I have two forums running with forumotion and would like to migrate (move users, topics and posts) to a new server.

I am happy with using these boards for my gaming clan but I have a R/C site that I am moving to another server and want to keep all the data from this forum and move it to the new forums on my new server.

I can see that you can do a backup, but it looks like it just restores the boards in use and I can't see a way of migrating them.

Please help me as I do not want to lose all the stuff that has been posted and have to ask the members to rejoin.

Thanks
Brian.

Hello,

As it has been said many many times, you can't have the databases of your forums, sorry !

They simply dont care one bit about their users, thats all.... Sad

All they want is to make money off our arses..............absolutly no consideration for people who start something here and need something BETTER!

Edit: hmmm... make money off our asses...... Can I BUY a copy of my backup?! Very Happy

Forumotion actually do care for their users! I got an domain name for 100 points because my forum had high traffic, so they do care.
