How where these backups created?

[Daja]

Well i guess i must have had any addons instaled on vb because there is a folder in forum folder named backups and there is a backup folder saved for each day since november last year

Go to phpmyadmin in you server control pannel(is you have cpanel go to "MySQL Databases" and scroll towards the bottom and there should be a link to phpmyadmin). Once in phpmyadmin click import and select the db file you want to up.

What are the filenames of those backups?

PS It would be really helpfull if you knew how they where created.

I tryed that early on but there are so many files on the backup foulder to upload and it will take me such a long time to do it, is there any other way to do it qiuker like to upload the file with everything that has in it, not going inside the folder and up one by one.

Marco the backup folder its based inside the forum folder where includes,admincp images etc are, inside thise folder u got other folders named by dates like this 2007-03-27
Like i sad this backups start it a while ago but at that time a friend was maintanin the forum and i dont know if there was a addon add it in forum or what.

Still my original question stands: What are the filenames of the backup?

Go into those directories until you find the actually backup fienames.

Marco file names inside the foulder are as below with an extention SQL File, there are hundreds of them.

Are you on dedicated server, what OS?
You have only those above listed names, repeated hundreds of times each?
If yes, then you are screwed.

Contact your webhost and see if they have a full database dump. Some hosters will do a monthly site dump, just in case.

No man there must be around 1000 different file names none of them its the same but i only coped those file names just to show whats we are talking about because couldnt copy all of them.
I imported about 120 files on database and i can tell that this files are part of the forum,im sure of this, but uploading 1000 files one by one is not easy and u may mis one then whats the point.
What i'm asking is, is there any way that can upload the backup folder its self not files inside one by one, also anything else that will help me to bring the forum back the way it was.
I did cantact my webhost about this but they only have a database saved which they can restore it back on 04/01/2007 wich is long time ego and i will loose alot users posts etc etc
