I am beginning this process, couple of db specific questions:

I believe that my forum was running on MySQL4. It is not possible to check as it is no longer accessible. Is it possible to import/restore this to a MySQLV5 db, or is it better to start at V4 and convert to V5 with one of the upgrades??

2nd the SQL Table Prefix structure in screen 2 of the 2.7.7 install.php shows that it will start with fud26_, is this just an oversite in the original programming and does it matter? When you perform an upgrade is the SQL prefix incremented automatically? Is there any way to confirm that my backup version is 2.7.7 ?? Or is it possible it is 2.6.x??

Similarly is there any way to tell what version of forum and MySQL was in place from looking at the contents of backup.fud file?

What does the .fud backup file contain? Does it contain the database as well as all the message base, forum structure, css, images etc.??

If I am successful at restoring the .fud file into 2.7.7 then do I need to do each successive release, ie 2.8, 2.9 etc or can I just go to 3.0??

Thank you.
