Tubaplayer, if all you want is to upgrade to v7 on your website then follow Matonor's advice. After that we can easily help you to empty your news, forum and the other tables. That's probably the smallest problem you could get into. :)
mojkan, why complicate your life with custom imports/exports? Try this:
1. Install the same v6 version you have on the first site to your second location.
2. Make a backup of your v6 (Admin Panel -> System Admin -> Database Backup) and keep it handy.
3. Copy all your files from your current site to the new one.
Now the next step would be to restore your database but it's very important that you give your saved tables a different prefix before continuing so you can have two separate sites running.
To rename your table prefixes you will have to open your SQL file in Notepad, Notepad2 etc (not Wordpad, Word or any other rich text editor) and start replacing the prefixes. This is as example:Quote
Replacefusion_
with fusion7_
As you noticed, I only added a 7 but that's enough to make it different so we don't end up mixing data.
4. Login as a Super Administrator on your second website and go to Admin Panel -> System Admin -> Database Backup to restore your modified database backup.
5. Login through FTP to your website and edit your config.php file to update $db_prefix and DB_PREFIX. This way your new website will use the modified database you have just restored from your full export.
6. Get v7 and follow the readme instructions to migrate your new site to the latest version. That should be it.

Thanks for your replies, much appreciated. Thing is, I have a v7 site that was originally supposed to be used just for testing stability and compatibility. While testing, I posted news, articles, links, pictures and so on. Now I'd like to keep all of this stuff in the new site, so a full export/import from the old site, followed by deleting news, articles etc. is not an option. But Matanor's suggestion is probably the best, if I make a bit of extra work of it. Here's my plan:
- set up a new 6.x.x site
- import db from old v6 site
- upgrade new v6 site to v7
- export user fields
- import user fields to current v7 site
- done :)

thx, i solved it myself by exporting fusion_users and fusion_user_groups. Took the inserts, added the fields user_admin_password and user_threads.

You do know you can select the tables that you back up, don't you? That is, you can back up only PREFIX_users if you want..
