I've gotten a little further, but not really.

Question:
Is it possible to do a datadump from a working FUDForum on a Unix server and then import the data to the same version of new FUDForum on a Windows server? Or must the server types be the same?

I tried the scenario mentioned above and was at least able to finally get the import feature on our Windows server to see the backup file, but it gave me an error saying it could not find a particular table in the database of the server I was restoring to.

I would really like to test the export/import feature in the event we need to fall back on our backup copy but so far feel really shaky about its reliability as I have not been successful in restoring it. It is highly likely there is something I'm missing out on. So to be certain, I only need the backup file to completely restore my forum, correct? The database and install location of the folder I'm restoring to should be irrelevant, right or wrong? Please help, thanks.
