Website Broken, Need Restore (Urgent)


Question

Hi

I was setting up my website with a buddy but unfortunately something went wrong and website's main page broken and later more messed up when tried to replace previous php files.

Now only solution was Restore. I have requested my Hosting support to restore my website. He told me 1 day old backup will be implement. I was happy that only 1 day work will be lose but Damn he Restored my website from 2 month's before date.

I inform him about this stupidity and he said this

Then I will restore only the mysql database from backup-6.10.2011_16-39-18_gameshun.tar.gz if you agree?

Regards,

What should I do. Let him update from Database. ?

Now I have left only that Home Directory Backup File which was Generated 10th june and I want to apply it. Please tell me how Can I do that.

Is it even possible or I'm Clearly Gone to the past.?

Thanks Waiting for your Reply.

well im presuming the sql update will just be all the information posted on the website, like text entires and what not, you should be okay restoring it. so you will have that information but, how the website will look and what not would be a different story.

If the database backup is from only 1 day ago then you will get the majority if not all of your posts / pages etc back but like rajputwarror said it may not look right if you changed any themes / images etc. There may also be images missing from your posts depending on how your host restores things.

If you are using wordpress I would suggest making daily / weekly database backups yourself which can be done via the "Tools" or "Options" section. Can't remember without looking at the Admin page.

There is another Confusion Started... Someone learned me to Backup like this

Goto CPanel -> Backups -> Generate backup - > Select Home Directory -> Click on Generate Backup

while my other friend said it is wrong way it will backup only your partial Home Directory Backup and then he told me to use this way

Goto CPanel -> Backup Wizard -> Click on Backup -> Click on Full Backup -> Click on Generate Backup.

I used first one. Which is the correct way or both are same for taking full Website backup ?

Confused. :(
