Database Backup

[JasonGreen]

I backed up my database and it saved it as a .sql. How do I implement this file so I can revert back to my previous database? I made some changes that I don't want anymore.

You can restore the DB via phpMyAdmin or via SSH (if your host gave you SSH access).

Can you explain a little more in detail?

This thread (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=43873) at vB.com has details of how to do it via SSH.

man, it takes this much work just to revert back to a saved database? Figured it would be easier than this.

How easy does it get. Run one query and you're done. Sheesh, some people these days want everything served on a plate with a cherry on top.

Ha ha. How about I throw you into the Operating Room with me and see how "easy" things are. Some people are new, some people don't know much about vBulletin....get over it.

Of course, I guess you could still talk crap if you knew how to do a Lap Chole.....but I know you don't.

Its easy to forget that what seems very simple and straight forward to you isn't allawys to others.

Just becasue someone is here trying to hack up there board doesn't mean they have a great deal of knowlage of PC's, Linux, PHP or anything other than simple day to day tasks.

If you need any more help Jason just ask, try not to be put off :)
