Alex_Hansen Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Just got deleted my entire database. Very clever man. Fortunately, I could download from my web hosting company a backup that is less than 6 hours old, but I can simply just not figure out how to get it back into the system again?? I am absolutely no prof to MySQL but I think I'm doing the right thing to import, but it only takes a fraction of my database? What could be wrong - I'd be super grateful if someone could / would help here as this is rather critical :-) Thank you in advance.

clayton29657 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 who is your webhost and do you use cpanel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_Hansen Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 My webhost is: www.webhosting.dk - Sorry, I don't know about cpanel???? What is Cpanel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayton29657 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) cpanel is another program to access your ftp and back-ups. If you were using this I could explain how to upload your back-up files. I do not know enough other than that. I only know cause the other week I had something similar happen and lost whole site. If you upload your msql and home page files you should recover the site. I do know when I loaded my msql file only it didn't load the images so it took both files. I would try uploading the msql file 1st and see if it recovers it. Then if not you need the other file. Alex I would suggest contacting your webhost service and ask them to help you load back-up files to make sure it's done correctly. The good thing is you've a backup.

Alex_Hansen Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 Thanx for you reply. I do not use Cpanel, but it must be possible to import database again. Otherwise what should a backup be good for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayton29657 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Yes you will be able to do it I just do not know enough with your hosting service to tell you. You're most welcome for any help that's what the forum is for to help everyone if it's needed. I wish I could help. I would contact them though or look on their website for a tutorial to show you how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_Hansen Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 The support at my webhosting fixed the problem, but I still can't understand why I can't import database-backup myself? When I select the file and begin upload it came with an error (some kind of time-out) after 2 min - And it's always the same amount of data there is uploaded ??? What could be wrong. See picture.
