More information on the problems:

Failure to build an .export file:

I went back to my back-up log and found that one of the files terminated in an error... it says:

- - - Exporting the 'B2' database... Error:
- - - Copying the config file of 'B2' database... Done.

B2 is the one failing. The other backup directories have successfully built an B*.export file, B2 does not have one - but it has a .cfg file which is probably where the counter is coming from. The backup probably aborts at ~9k and the .export file never gets built.

The problem appears to be that the UB2k backup can not handle the huge board... and of course there is no one to ask at UB2K!

Removal of "\" characters:

Looking at that .export file, I see that each newline is contained as the characters "\n" on the Unix server. Is there an easy way to modify the importer to create 'native' newlines in vBulletin?

Another alternative would be for me to do a large-scale substitution on the .export file before running ubimporter, but I would need to know from you what you expect to see for newlines.

Loss of members and passwords:

The number of members has been reduced for some reason. This is not a big deal although people who had higher member status will not be happy starting over. This is the least important because it will be easy for people to re-register. I think the passwords are not working because of the encryption difference UB2K vs. 2.2.0.


Thanks for your help so far. I think if I can get rid of the slashes and figure out how to get an export file to build in B2 database, I should be able to make the move to vBulletin.
