Wiped out the data base

[TintDude]

I accidentally wiped out the last 6 days from the board

Damn, I nearly lost it all, and had a helluva time restoring this much, I am so sorry poeple.

If you registered on the 6/8/03 or later you will need to register again, sorry for the bumpy road but the learning curve is steep and harsh.

Oh well. It's OK TD. I always do better the second time around....'sperience. Nuthin' like it....

[TintDude]

note to self, back up the data base every night instead of every week

[Guest DontWorryItWillDry]

OMG TD!!!!!!! Is my post count ok!?!?!?

[Guest DontWorryItWillDry]

Actually TD, I lost about 90-100 posts on my count. no kidding this time!

[Guest Eazytint]

how you doing the DB TD? I found that my c-panel db backup sucks and doesnt work at all when I need it. I found that the best way was to dump the raw text file for the posts and users and such, just a tip

im not worried about my post count td I only had avout 150 or 160 anyway but can you put my car back up I sent you it oh yeah I tinted it

[TintDude]

thanks ez, I had to use cpanel's backup restore, and it worked, but damn, I was sweating it there for a minute.

[Guest Eazytint]

wow it worked! damn all I ever got was errors

[Guest Eazytint]

ohh just an idea, I think I saw a mod somewhere for phpbb somewhere that would back-up the db and save it or something, not sure but that would save you some work.
