Hi everyone,

 

What is the process for restoring a MySQL backup?

 

I'm familiar with CPanel, I have the backup file, but when I tried to restore it, nothing seemed to change.

 

PLEASE NOTE: I AM NOT REQUESTING A RESTORE OF ANY DATABASE!!! :)

 

Just want to know how to do it in case I need to again.

 

Thanks, kj

In cPanel you go to the backup function, browse for the file on your hard drive and upload it.

 

If you are restoring a file you just backed up I wouldn't expect to see any changes.

That's exactly what I did.

 

I restored a file provided by TCH from several days prior and saw no change in the db whatsoever.

 

How long does the process take for a 1.2mb SQL file?

 

Is there a 'process complete' box or anything?

 

All I got was 'done' in the status bar of the browser after it uploaded.

 

Thanks, kj
