alisoncc 379 Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Mick, you will find that all the data - member information, postings, etc. are held in the MySQL database. None of it is maintained in the actual code that would constitute the backup. Once you have the Forum code and customisations transferred across and operating satisfactorily, a MySQL Dump and then Restore should enable you to bring the Forum back online with minimal downtime.

mick2me 3,033 Posted October 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 I am currently accessing the site in its new hosting only via a proxy? Typing Nottstalgia.com in my browser still sends me to the old site hosting. I have a very slow connection and have PMs but cant deal with them until I get direct into the new site hosting. I have never known propagation to take so long? If those who can see this post here so I can see how far it has propagated.

mick2me 3,033 Posted October 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 If you are posting here this is the new hosting, which is on a server in the USA, not the UK as before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
