How to export native format from Mantis 1.2.14

[tanny]

I have Mantis 1.2.14 installed on a hosted account. I want to move all the data to to a fresh Mantis installation on a different machine. I have installed the 'Import/Export issues 1.0' plugin via the Manage Plugins page on the original installation of Mantis 1.2.14, from which I want to export all existing issues.

If I understand correctly, I should be able to export the existing issues into a native Mantis XML format, them move that file over and import it into my new installation.

However, the Manage page only has an '[ Import Issues ]' option - but nothing for exporting existing issues. How do I export my existing issues?

You can find the export functionality on "View Issues" page.

I recommend a database export/import instead of using the plugin.
There are various known issues with the plugin in version 1.2.x.

Thanks, that was quick. I will take your advice and go the DB route instead.
