you can create a new folder at your MyBB files server (eg. forumold)
copy all folders & files from your forum to the new folder
edit ~/inc/settings.php file (eg. forumold/inc/settings.php) for correct board url & cookie settings (see this guidance)
create a new database at your web panel & upload your database backup into it
edit ~/inc/config.php file (eg. forumold/inc/config.php) & put correct database details
your forum with the database backup should work at the new folder (eg. forumold)
log into its admin panel and again put correct board url & cookie settings at site details page (configuration section)

you can also make the forum in your computer system by using a local web server (eg. XAMPP) [this post might help]
