Hello,

That's right. Backup 1 and 2 are joined, 3 is about ready to go and there are luckily some tools to make the post look about right in the new forum (quoting quoted quoting quotes, quoted by quoters still is a problem). That will have to be done manually. The Pentium4 should effortlesly do the various jobs.

This very machine isn't capable to handle all the big files and several applications and doing other stuff. So the stuff had to be copied to the Pentium4 and all programs hadto be setup and configured there. Taking a few whiles. The new database will be ready to be loaded when things go as they should go. The normal server still isn't running though and the forum will be very basic (standard skin and no avatars/smileys).
