WOW, thats a fast reply. ahaha.

Just to confirm (and I know someone will read this post for years to come and get info out of it):

After I reupload my file I use the FULL install of the same version board and go into the cp.cgi. Aside from the files it says NOT to overwrite in that link you gave, everything else would be replaced (that being the cgi files )? All members are brought in and posts from the file that are now in the correct sub folders from the tar?

This was a 700M board. A ton of data to tar if you ask me
