 * Hi, I recently moved hosts and I didn’t want to mess with trying to restor the
   whole database so I just did the backup plugin that comes with WP. I’ve read 
   through the docs on wp.org and cannot find for the life of me how I can just 
   restore that backup. All the docs talk about using phpmyadmin and restoring the
   database which I do not want to do. I just want to restore the old posts…Any 
   help?
 * Thanks

 * Would it help if I said that the database is where the posts are? THAT’s why 
   you want to restore the database…

 * HandySolo, doesn’t really help but good to note.
 * Thanks podz, but that was all the work I was hoping to avoid.
 * I’m just not gonna bother and start over.

 * Well, we gave you answers. 🙁 Hate to see folks give up and throw away content.
