[3.3.x] Support Forum • Re: Backup from 2012 used in a fresh install

The forum sql seems to have posts in and both were created at around the same time and day.

search for version in that file to find the phpBB version that database is for

Where/how do I import the files?

In PhpMyadmin or similar.
I take it you have a hosting package

The files were created so long ago (2012), are they likely to be compatible to the new install I have?

No.
BUT... if it was an unmodified board then upgrading is simple.
If not then you have find the database version and install that.

Before going into details, find out which php version the database mentions (search for the field "version").
