    Reloading the forum backup.

    Will loading the backup.sql file (1 week old) will also sacrcrify all posts on my forum within the newest week? or they just add the loss posts?

    Thank you.

    Restoring a backup will overwrite the current db, including any new posts. In other words it will restore the db to the exact state it was when you made the backup.

      Sorry, but you'll lose all changes to your board since your backup. (New posts, new users, etc)

      Shoot! - Steve beat me.

          Don't even try it. I'm pretty sure this will completely mess up your database.
