Gallery version : 2.2.5; 2.2.4; 2.2.5
PHP version 3.0.1

Webserver startlogic.com
Database MySQL - 5.0.51a-log; phpMyAdmin - 2.8.0.1

Operating system (e.g. Linux): vista home
Browser ie8, chrome

I have a website and a picture gallery.

I don’t know a lot about databases and sql and whatnot, so when I tried installing my first gallery I naturally had problems.

I called my web server, and they performed an install and updates for the gallery 2. (this is about 14 months ago)

Fast forward to learning more about webservers/websites/html…blah blah blah

I have two galleries versions 2.2.5; 2.2.4; installed in the exact same place.

(1)Gallery2 v.2.2.5 http://ifitsgot.startlogic.com/gallery2/

(2)Gallery2 v.2.2.4 http://ifitsgot.startlogic.com/gallery2/

(3)Gallery2 v.2.2.5 http://ifitsgotwheels.com/iigw_gallery_pics/

phpBB v.3.0.1 http://iigw.org/iigwFORUM/

What I would like to do is,
A. Make a full back up of all things on my gallery.
B. Fully delete both galleries.
C. Restore all information/pics/users to a newly created (3rd) gallery
Any help is appreciated.

Or if someone is able to do it for me I could pay pall some money to cover the labor?

Any help appreciated.

FAQ: How do I backup G2?

If I read that right you want to merge 2 G2 installs into 1? Sorry, not possible. Closest you can get is restoring or using one of them and importing the photos and only the photos (not users, not comments, not titles or descriptions, etc) into the Gallery you want to use.

ok what about doing a full back up then erasing the application G2 off the server, reinstalling the G2 application on the server, and doing a restore of the back up?

if its too big of a hassle, i wont do it, but there has to be a to do a full back up/restore. its got to be as simple as moving from one web server to another, there has to be a way to get the info complete and moved into a separate location..?

Why? You'll end up with exactly what you already have.

Please explain exactly what you are trying to accomplish.
