Simple Help Please

[kith]

I am very very new to this.

I have a live forum 3.0.5 and a recent backup.
I have installed VB 3.0.5 on another domain to try out the import feature so I know I can do it at a later date.

I have backed up my database (21MB file)

INstalled ImpEx (Is an option from the menu now in control panel)

Now what do I run and where?

Do I run import in the new test forum (fresh install awaiting the backed up database) or what? Very confused and new to this stuff.

I have copied the backed up database into my new forum via FTP but have no idea what to do now :(

Have I done this now?
Was that the registration email as I just changed contact email.

Okay I did this a while back with my customer number etc...
I just went to the link again and inputted this new email address, is that working now?

[Steve Machol]

Yep, it's working now. Thanks.
