I think this is what you're looking for:

It's also possible with certain parameters in the MySQLDump command to actually dump the database into another MySQL server of your choice, provided you have the required access of course. It is shown in the very last paragraph of that link.

There's an extract function in phpbb that allows you to export your configuration for future use then import it on a new site.

Sorry, guess I didn't read that specific part of the message... There's a similar backup & restore system on SMF though that should work- See: http://www.simplemachines.org/commun...opic=184356.20

Aite thanks for the link will try to learn that :3

EDIT: Aite got my database downloaded... in zip file... WTF to do with it now?! In the zip file I have .sql file, I guess I install SMF and upload the .sql file into the phpmyadmin?

Yea', you could try that... I'm sure it's explained in the tutorial but uhm yeah, either import it to phpmyadmin or there should also be a "Restore" function in SMF.

EDIT:

Nope... phpMyAdmin it is.
