Hi,

I would like to backup all the users database (just users database, not threads or posts) from my previous site (version 3.84) to a new fresh installation site. So how do i do it .. please help !

I believe you could use ImpEx to accomplish that. Assuming you're just trying to take your users from one site and move them to your fresh vBulletin installation

really .. I thought ImpEx is just converting database from other system to VB.

yeah, I'm gonna install a fresh Vb4 soon due to many problems with add-on mod on my old forum vb3.84 ..

If ImpEx is a solution, please tell me how do i use it .. (never touch this tool before .. and I just wanna clear before touching it).

Is any way to backup the user table manually ? if so, which tables should i backup

ImpEx is used to merge two supported boards together. You can see the manual here: http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/impex

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