Mazi 2010-06-01 14:49 updater ~12052	If you back up the entire database you can't just import this file to create a single new survey. You can either import the whole database by using tools like phpmyadmin or you can export single surveys as .csv and import them when creating a new survey. You can't import .sql files to create new surveys.
