Description:
Is there anyway I can take my current phpbb forum that has all of our saved information on it and import into this bitnami phpbb on google cloud instead of having to manually remake the forum?

Hi @istd,

You would need to create a backup of your current site's data and plugins, then launch a Bitnami phpBB virtual machine and restore it there. The steps would be similar to the upgrade process described in the official support forums:
https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3.2/ug/upgradeguide/upgrade31/

You could also find useful and maybe more detailed information here:

Would that work for you?
