Hi Southy23

I'm assuming this is a MySQL database. If so, then try:

MySQL AB :: MySQL Administrator

Works like a charm. I have used this many times with no problems. You can either restore entire databases, or select the tables you wish to restore. I actually used this to carry over a Mambo 4.5.3 userbase to Joomla! 1.0.10. Some table editing was required - mos_ to jos_ for example, but if you are going to the same software, this will not be an issue.

Hope that helps.

I have done it a few times. I will do it for you if you want.

Its fairly easy to do, you just go through myphpadmin and download the database then upload the database through myphpadmin again into the new database.

Yes, there is that too. :)

myphpadmin as stated by scooty, is a handy tool to do your job, you can try it a little bit and this increase your learning on this field,

Is that simple even when the board software will have been upgraded? Or is the database not changed by new software? What about if the new board records the database information differently, such as having different tables?
