XF 1.2 Restore from database

[abdfahim]

Hi,

I have the database backup of one of my old installation (don't have any file of the installation). Is it possible to restore the posts from the backup (I can understand the attachments will not be available)?

i was also wondering this, i want to move my database, but it might effect the forum

I think if you have both database and the files, it is not an issue. Just move/rename the database as it is and update library/config.php with new database credentials.

Is it possible to restore the posts from the backup

Yes, as long as it's not fragmented.

No, you can't do that as many tables are interconnected.

It would have to be a complete restore.
