Possible to port existing phpBB into an existing XenForo forum?

[NeoCHI]

I have a phpBB forum and a xenForo forum. Both with content. Is it possible to port the phpBB forum into a new forum within my existing xenForo forum without it messing it up? If so how hard is it?

Can someone verify this information and answer the last question?

Here is a detailed backup guide:

So if I am doing a phpBB to xenForo conversion where the xenForo installation already has content, I can not redirect the phpBB urls to xenForo?

You can. You will need to use these redirect scripts to perform the id mappings since you will not be able to use the same ids when importing into a populated XF forum:

Rewrite rules may be required to relay your phpBB URLs to the redirect scripts.
