What i've never been able to do is get my head around doing a data base back up of a data base then installing it (using a different name as it would be a copy of a data base being used) for testing purposes.
Let's say I want to go from vB to Xenforo
First thing would be to do a test import of everything from my site via a test site with a test data base but the data base would be the a back up copy of the one I use.
This way it would give me a good idea of problems and such for the real import.
So is there an easy and simple explanation on how to do this?
I've never understood the terminology and how to do data base 'dumping' and such.
