This would only work if:

1) The usernames are the same across both horde installations and
2) the turba source is not using shares - otherwise, the datatree data  
would have to be moved as well, and unless you move the datatree  
tables in their entirety, or otherwise ensure that the datatree_ids in  
the old tables do not conflict with any in the new tables, things will  
break.


Thanks,
