he didn't backup the database he backed up the threads tables through the Admin function of Threads.. thats why he has the smaller table files instead of the single database backup you would have gotten through phpmyadmin...so I would guess the easiest thing would be for him to install the threads on the new box with any table altering mods like panelgen or IIP or have a dozen other mods and then put those files on his new server in the ubbthreads backup directory and use the threads restore function through admin.. either that or go to phpmyadmin on the old server and backup the actual database and then go to the newbox phpmyadmin and restore it...
