i thoght he just wants to recover his posts , so the posters who had posted in his forum was already there so it won't worry

and by the way are you using other databases of other sites and merging with one another

don't know it will be of any help to you

Let me recap:

- You had a database error on your site
- You decided to restore a 2 hour old backup. Result should be that your board is back to the situation of 2 hours ago, so you have basically lost 2 hours of postings/registrations.
- Your members complain about the posts made in these 2 hours that are lost. If i where the admin i would say though luck, repost.

But now it gets confusing. You have another backup (??) that still has these 2 hours worth of postings? And now want to merge all in this backup or only the posts of the lost 2 hours into your current database?
before i restored the 2 hours ago backup, and took another backup for existing forum, which i m gonna called" current backup"

now i need to merge "current backup" with "2 hours ago" backup... i need to recover post and thread and nothing else....

i dun know why it sounds soo confusing

yes, i just need to recover my post, and poster are already there...

NO that is the same database from same forum(same domain).

i just need to merge old database into new database for same forum.


I hope everything is clear now....

Tell the users that the threads and posts are gone, its not worth the effort to recover them, that will be a lot of work.

Its NOT a simple task, if you never used impex before, then you simply dont understand how it works.

You CAN'T just run posts/threads.

Like snakes1100 replied. Unless you have lost thousands of posts, trying to merge a few posts back into your current database is a timeconsuming and expert task and really not worth it for "just 2 hours of postings".

If there have been 1 or important posts missing, then it is best to manually find them in the backup, copy the text and repost.
