phpBB • Free and Open Source Forum Software

so, my only other hope is the guys who run my VPS has a backup?

thats why i thought about doing this manually!!

I could copy the rows from phpbb_users and add them to the forum database, do the same for posts and threads

i have asked if my hosts have a backup. I know i have a backup a few months old. But i dont want to over write the whole sites backup...

can i copy the mysql rows manually?

can i manually do this?

I have had my forums pruned, and my backup was 1 year old.

I have all active users, and all recent posts. Is there away i can copy the posts from one database to the next?

i have backups

all i want, is the first, 45k posts...

is there something easier than this... ie, with a tutorial...?

i have a good backup of phpbb2, so, an idea will take place...

ill convert the forums... then... merge them?

so, i have lost, a good, 35k - 50k posts... just because someone thought it would be a good idea...

# Table: phpbb_zebra DROP TABLE IF EXISTS phpbb_zebra; CREATE TABLE `phpbb_zebra` ( `user_id` mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', `zebra_id` mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', `friend` tinyint(1) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', `foe` tinyint(1) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', PRIMARY...

my backup only has 30,000 posts

should be 55,000 posts... what is going on?

Ok... why cant i find a recent backup?

why cant i find out who pruned the forums?

i know you can merge 2 mysql databases...

why not my forum database?

so, your telling me, that i have either lost, about, 40k posts, or about 4 years of posts...

great... this just makes me mad... really mad...

Hello

It appears i have had my forums pruned. I have a backup of about 4-5 months. Is it possible to upload the backup to a different forum, and then merge both databases?
