Is this the wrong file you attached? ;)

You mean I didn't attach file!? Sorry, here it is again.

Nope, I can't get it to work. It says that all is ok but no restore is done.... Anyone found a way to do this?

i have the same problem, buddy

there is a lot of problems with this hack,,,,,.....................maybe dont use it

Can't you restore it through phpmyadamin if you need to, if the restore feature doesn't work?

I tried to restore and it said:

But nothing changed, my old database wasn't restored? and it was called backup.sql.gz

This worked for the older versions of vB. I really wish someone would continue with this script because I think it's a good idea. If there's a backup feature, there should always be a restore feature as well.

i still fail to make connection as to what you are saying i looked through the whole of the thread and didnt see code change niether in you file its same as Birdie501.
as matter of fact you really have confused the me as the first attchment has nothing to do with the hack

I am using 2.30 and it worked fine for me - my db was screwed, I back it up every other day - and delete the old one,and I restored it using this hack and it worked a dream. I only lost 1 days posts (approx 300) so I was well happy!


update since moving the forums to a new folder I am having real problems.....

I have altered the templete.php to show
everything appears to be fine - i get the message "db backed up" etc
but when i down load the db - it tells me that the file is corrupt.
I have checked the folder permissions etc and everything appears to be fine?
