0 Lock Down Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Just use phpmyadmin and create a database backup. Then use whatever database program you want like mysql-front to restore the database to the new databse on your localhost.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest ipx88 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Thanks for your reply Lock Down, I already backed up my live forum (Topics) only table, but when I tried to install it on a new IPB, it didn't work. I wonder do i have to backup the categories table? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Lock Down Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Why not the whole database? Otherwise you will get many errors as the tables are linked together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
