Greetings,
I used Fantastico to create a back up of my site and now I cannot find any information on how to recover my site with the backup file I now have.

What format is the file saved in? (What extension?)

Hi Mythus

I never used Fantastico but, I presume that now you got a backedup data base, don?t you?

At the time of your backup, did you noticed some extra options like "drop tables", "data and structure" for instance?

If you got a "yuorfile.sql" you need to import that file through your MySQL admin (phpmyadmin?)
Just import it "over" your actual db

BtW> just in case, do another backup of your actual db before doing this operation, ok?

Why u dont use DatabaseTools Module which can save your backup to SQL file and then u can use it as it is.

Ok let me try to make sense of this mess lol.
I first made a full back up using cPanle and it created a file named backup-6.20.2005_10-01-44_mongoune.tar dnloaded to my remote computer.
Then I upgraded XOOPS 2.0.6 to 2.0.10 using Fantastico
I then looked at my site and is was gone i think the two are not compadible so I want to roll back to XOOPS 2.0.6 but I cannot seem to find the download anywhere. I think if i do thin things will go back to normal with anyluck.
