Exporting Data to a new installation?

[3z3k3l]

Hey Guys,
I want to download a fresh copy of Sugar CRM and install it on a new website.

I have an existing older version of Sugar now with a lot of data on it. I want to export leads/projects etc... from one to the other. Is that possible?

Yes but you will need to upgrade your old to the matching version for the new install then do a mysqldump program to dump the data. then load the data into the new machine. you will also have to copy your cache directory over as well.
