The backup from Store can be uploaded with phpMyAdmin.
But the phpBB version jumps back to phpBB 3.2.5.
The backup comes from the phpBB version 3.2.7
Not if the version in the config table was 3.2.5 upon restore. Neither phpBB's database backup, nor phpBB's or phpMyAdmin's database restore, will override or change the stored version number in the database or in the backup files.
The simple explanation would be "there actually are phpBB 3.2.5 database backups in my /store directory too, and I was actually selecting one of those older phpBB 3.2.5 backups during restore."
The seemingly less likely explanation for "I installed phpBB 3.2.7 but then a backup and subsequent restore of my database shows phpBB 3.2.5 as the database version" would be if the phpBB 3.2.7 update process had actually failed. Meaning phpBB 3.2.7 was never actually successfully set as the database version, even though the phpBB 3.2.7
files were on your board when creating the backup.
You can check any backup yourself by opening the .sql file in a suitable text editor and searching for the
phpbb_config
table data (or whatever your correct table prefix is) and finding the "version" row's config_value field. For example,
('version', '3.2.7', 0)
. If you made .tgz or other compressed backups, the .sql file is what's inside that compressed archive.
