Shadow Dragon Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Hey I recently updated IPB from 1.2 to 2.03 (my boards crashed so I decided to update :p). Now I've got an old backup (ibf_dbbackup.sql) and I can't seem to upload and use it, I keep getting error and messed up boards. Is there any way for me to use my old backup?

0 Swiftie Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 When you backed up your boards did you also back up the PHP files? & was the backed up version 1.2?

0 The Crock Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Try reinstalling IPB 1.2, initiating the backup. Then upgrading to 2.03 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/317325-old-backup-new-board/#findComment-585888411 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Dragon
Hey
I recently updated IPB from 1.2 to 2.03 (my boards crashed so I decided to update :p).
Now I've got an old backup (ibf_dbbackup.sql) and I can't seem to upload and use it, I keep getting error and messed up boards.
Is there any way for me to use my old backup?
