    I Was Thinking If We Could Backupdatabase From One Forum Software And Restore It On Another

    For Eg
    Can Create A Backup In .sql Format On Phpbb2(fully Moded) And Restore It On Another Software Such As Vbulletin Or Other
    I Am New In This Field If You Find My Question Plz Dont Laugh:(
    I Am Only Sixteen Yrs Old And Managing A Forum

    That won't work that way because you are facing two different database structures.

    If you want to transfer your phpBB2 to vBulletin you need to use ImpEx, the import script of vBulletin. Read the supplied readme, it's nicely explained in there ;)

    Cheers

    you can also convert it to a Simple Machines forum using a converter, all free of course.
