Take Sql Backup From Phpmyadmin
It's possible to take a backup only of one table. So if threads are the only thing you want to restore, then you should backup the tables _thread[*] (all the _thread[something here] ones) and _posts; although that would be quite weird because this would cause the threads to be owned by other users.

If you need to take an SQL backup of everything, simply go to your MyBB admin panel, tools & Maintenance, then click Database backups on the left. Take a full backup and restore it using PHPMyAdmin on another site. (You could also backup using PHPMyAdmin; it's basically the same, but imo it's easier from the admin panel than having to log in cPanel).
Thanks guys
