if you create a new forum and want to upload your old backup sql file from your smf forum to your new smf forum how can you do so?

Is it the same database?
If yo you could use the upgrade from the download section.

If diffrent database make a backup without CREATE tables only INSERT s  and then run the *.sql in your new database eg with phpMyAdmin (sql).
Make sure its the same version.

same database?

roboter88

Do you have phpMyadmin or how you used to administrate your database?

You must run the backuped *sql into the new database.
