[Plugin: Bei Fen - WordPress Backup Plugin] Restore messes up whole blog :-( (4 posts)

    I’m testing this for a WordPress book – but restore seems to go terribly wrong :-( I just shot my blog to hell (all articles appear without pictures and formatting) because the restore process in the backend (file restore) froze. Manual re-transfer of the generated sql-files (table wp-posts) into the database didn’t work (PHPmyadmin says SQL error) – I had to use an older backup and lost many articles in the process.

    I asked the plug-in author for any ideas on how to avoid problems oder fixing the results - unfortunatly he didn't answer...

    Sorry for the "late" reply (less than 24 hours after posting on http://www.BeiFen.Info)! I am not a 24/7 supporter, so sometimes it takes a while for me to answer a support request.

    The SQL files have a special format. Just open the files with a text editor of your choice and replace '-- End of query' with a ';'. After that you should be able to restore the database manually.
