XF 2.2 Help restore the forum

[Dkf]

Due to a hard drive failure, the files of the file system have been lost, but the database is still intact.
How can I restore the forum step by step?
Please provide instructions.

Thank you.

This is why I don't trust most hosts when it comes to backups. Use a service like Code Guard or a similar service that stores your files and database and can restore and rescue your forum via one click.

Codeguard is expensive.

Prefer to use auto back up.

The key is to make your database name something that tells you ah that’s example.com

For example you have a cooking site your cpanel name and MQK8scooking become your database name. It would be yourrealname_MQK8scooking
