Use this page to restore from a backup you have made earlier.

If the site data gets lost or corrupted, you will need to restore from an earlier backup. To do so, you can either upload the file using this page (if the file is less than 2 Mb in size), or upload via FTP to /scripts/mysql_restore/

NOTE: Restoring from a backup will overwrite the data in the database, so do not use restore unless you have lost your data and need to restore from a backup.

In the top section of the page, a list of any backup files you may already have stored in the /scripts/mysql_restore directory will be shown, which you can choose from to perform the restore.

In the bottom section an upload form will show to allow you to browse to and upload a backup from your computer. If the directory permissions on the /scripts/mysql_restore directory are not set correctly for the upload (that is, set to 777) then the upload form will not appear - instead you will see a note informing you of that fact.

Important: this MySQL restore function only works with backups made from the Cash Crusader script's own backup functions (either the Automatic or Manual ones). You can not use it to restore data from a backup made in some other manner, such as from CPanel, or from PHPMyAdmin.

Important: you should not leave the directory permissions on the /scripts/mysql_restore directory at 777 permanently - this poses a major security risk. Nor should you leave backups stored in that folder permanently.
