Restore PHPBB Database Error

Guest

Whenever I attempt to back up and restore my phpbb2.0.15 forum, I recieve this error upon the 'Restore Database' step. The error occurs no matter whether I pick a full backup, or just restore data or structure.

Error importing backup file

DEBUG MODE

SQL Error : 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '

My main objective is to backup my database, then restore it onto a different forum (running the same version of PHPBB). However, I recieve this error trying to restore on both forums.

Any ideas?

Probably should mention that the original site from which the apparently flawed PHPBB database is coming from is running PHPNuke, and the second one is not.

phpBB and phpNuke tables are not compatible. You cannot restore one into another. You will need phpBB to phpNuke OR phpNuke to phpBB converter

1) I got the same error backing up from the PHPNuke to the PHPNuke
2) Where can I find such a converter?

The script backup options aren't too reliable. I recommend using phpMyAdmin instead.

A phpBB to phpNuke converter is available at http://www.nukeresources.com
