How can I easily create a duplicate of my database? Does size matter since it's over 200MB? So basically, what you are saying is that I should install vBulletin 3.7.0 on a different location, install all the current mods, duplicate the current db and name it the one I used to installed 3.7 with? Does that sounds okay?

Another question... My AdminCP says I have 227 customized template(s) that need to be updated or reverted. Does that matter when upgrading to 3.7? I've already looked to some of those templates and it's mostly because I am using a pretty old style (I believe it was last updated for 3.6.5) and made a lot of template changes for the mods!

Thanks in advance.
