We have Web Wiz Forums release v7.97 (MS SQL Server 7/2000 Version).

Yesteday we found that our webserver has been hacked and all sites deleted. This instalation of windows 2000 server is quite old and there are a lot of things installed that we no longer need. Also in the SQL server there are lots of databases that are not in use anymore (share point team services, etc...)... For this reason we want to delete everything and reinstall only necesary things for web. My question is how to make backup of WebWizForum and how to restore it... What to backup from SQL server, and is it posible to restore to MSDE?

Thanks,

Alen

You need to backup the SQL database for Web Wiz Forums, and while you are at it, you may as well upgrade to version 8.

The SQL Management suit comes with DTS import/export tools for moving database, and can be used to move the database from SQL 2000 to MSDE, but I would recommend looking at SQL server 2005 Express, it's the new free version of MSDE, but without the 8 concurrent user restriction.
