I posted this in the UBB Classic thread as well, just thought I'd copy it over here..

ok. I was doing a backup and transfer while following the INFOPOP instructions, and I have a suggestion about them.

I had to do the entire backup and transfer twice to find out that it's necessary to copy the "Polls" directories, as well as the "Cache" directories that are found in the "Non-CGI" folders. It says nothing about this in the instructions. I was missing a few posts that were polls with comments until I copied all these directories over and then rebuilt my messageboard.

this is a direct quote:

"11.   Select the following directories with your FTP client. (Please see your FTP client documentation on how to select multiple files and directories at once.)

§         Forum* (where * stands for any number)

§         BanLists

§         Archives

§         styles

§         Templates

Select the following file with your FTP client:  categories.file.

12.   Download the selected files and directories into the Backups/noncgi using your FTP client.  This may take some time.  Be sure to set your FTP client to preserve the directory structure, if it asks what to do with the directories."

thanks alot

We appreciate the tip, aj, but I'm gonna close it here, since you did post it in the appropriate place earlier.

I don't want to have two threads going with the same content please
