Move a forum??

[Magnus]

Hi

If I wanted to move just the forum to a new server how would I do that?

You'd want to backup and transfer the forum folder as well as the database the forum uses.

If you're referring specifically to SMF, they have a page here:

It says there to to save the "Home directory" and save the database.
Is it ok if both were not saved on the same day?

If you have a gallery, allow attachments, upload avatars, etc, it's possible things may not work (or will be missing) if they aren't taken at the same time.
