Hey, not quite sure where this would fit, so thought I'd stick it in here, and if it's in the wrong place, someone please move it

Anyway, I'm basically have a server move soon, and want to make sure I have everything I need for restoring the forums at my new home. So what do I need to have basically? I got the mySQL dump [backup] from the forums admin panel, and I'm downloading all forum-files from FTP. Is this all I'll need, or is there more?

Thanks for any help

Leo.

The mysql dump from the admin panel really isn't sufficient. Read up in the FAQ forum on vb.com to see how to make a reliable database backup

Thanks for the reply Mist

Now I'm kind of confused, though. Is the only way of making a reliable database through Telnet? Can I not use phpmyAdmin? If so, how?

Thanks,
Leo.

Well, I've just checked and I have no SSH/Telnet enabled on my account. Is there no other reliable way? Really all I need is the members/posts intact. The styles I can download in the CP, no? Also, the attachements aern't at the top of my priority list either. Anyone got any help...please?

I believe it is the only reliable way. Have you tried asking your host to give you SHH/Telnet access?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
