Backup/Restore
Something that should be simple is proving frustrating. I have an older version of ElkArte that I've backed up and want to restore into a refresh install of ElkArte on a different server. I have Googled everywhere... searched the forums here... and have found no instructions on how to do this. I would have thought a restore a fundamental feature of a forum. I found the backup and performed it, but how do you use it... particularly when the forum DB tables all have different names and the forum releases are quite different?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OK, I just imagined a simple utility to backup/restore content and/or users to some format that would import... kinda like the OpenImporter that can go from another forum to ElkArte, but in this case export from ElkArte first using the OpenImporter format then back into ElkArte. Again, just seemed like a basic feature.
