Extracting posts/categories/members only

[neverstudy]

Hey,

I know there is a search feature on here, and I have tried to search. But I wasn't quite sure on my answer. So I decided to post.

I have a forum and I am currently getting it redesigned. Until the redesigning is going on, I would like to do a FRESH install of vB on my server. But I do not want to lose my posts/threads/categories/ and ofcourse members. I don't need anything else that the mysql gives out.

How would I do that?

Thanks,

Why a fresh install? The only way to do what you want would be to use Impex, and that will change all your forum, user, post and thread IDs.
