[server-admins] Forum upgrade

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Manfred.  One of the advantages to using Firebird is that it stored it's
databases as a single portable file.  On our server these are stored in
/opt/firebird/data/ and should be accessible (maybe not).  As long as
you've stopped the forum application so no connections are open to the
database, then you can simply copy the file.  I copy and move firebird
database files around all the time.
