Transfer a Nabble 2 forum A to a Nabble 2 forum B

[tduchateau]

Hi,

Everything's in the title :-)

I managed to get a backup of the forum A (zip file) but I didn't find anything in forum B to import the backup.
Is it possible ?

Thanks !

Regards,
Thibault

No it's not!

You've forgotten the URLs of the forums involved!

My mistake :-/

Forum A : http://datatables4j.10263.n7.nabble.com
Forum B : http://dandelion.48353.n6.nabble.com

I disabled all redirections.

Anything else I need to do ?

Thanks,
Thibault.

Just wait for one of the Nabble Team to appear - that can be within minutes or up to 48 hours depending how busy they are on Premium Support queries or major service issues.

OK! Cool!
Thanks Greg!

Actually, if a transfer is possible :
 * is it possible to transfer the topics from the forum A without deleting those which already exist in the forum B ?
 * is it possible to keep the registered users from forum A to forum B ?

Thanks !

This import is made by us. We have to recover your site to a brand new one. So, we could move this new one to some sub app in you "forum B". What do you think about it?

[tduchateau]

Hi Pedro,

That would be great! :-)
Then I can move topics from the forum B sub app to any other sub-forum ?

[Pedro]

Yes. Should I backup forum A now?

[tduchateau]

Absolutely :-)
The forum A is not used any longer.

Many thanks Pedro!

I requested a backup in your site. Please, give me the link you received in your email.

Hi Pedro,

I don't understand what you've done :-)
I'm really sorry but unfortunately, I think the goal is not achieved.

The source forum was http://datatables4j-forum.10263.n7.nabble.com/ (forum A : 2 subforums, 26 topics)
The destination forum was http://dandelion-forum.48353.n6.nabble.com/ (forum B : 2 subforums, 8 topics).

So I was expecting that you transfer the 26 topics from datatables4j* to, for instance a 3rd subforum in dandelion* (or anywhere in dandelion*), to finally have 34 topics.

But finally, it seems that you've created a 3rd forum : http://datatables4j-forum.12186.n7.nabble.com/ with the exact same topics as the original "source forum" (forum A) and with the wrong name (datatables4j*) instead of dandelion*.

So, I'm now lost, please keep helping me :-)

Please, take a look now:

Many thanks for your time Pedro!
This is exactly what I wanted!

Best regards,
