solom Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Hi all First post here. Thanks for having me in your great forum. I'm having a situation, and would appreciate any help. I run an invision board forum. During crashes, archiving and unarchiving, many old posts were lost over time. Bu one particular member needs her 9 year old topic, to present it to court in a case that's very important for her. I've found an old backup of my forum's database (7 years old) so her topic should be there in that backup. But I have no knowledge of mysql, and need help in: how to export a specific topic from that backup, and if possible, restore that topic in the live forum. The topic in the backup had more than a hundred posts, while in the live forum her topic has only 9 posts. How do I get the missing 100 posts back please? I appreciate a detailed step by step solution if possible please. Many thanks for your time and help.

Barand Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I'd create a second database containing the relevant table/s only and restore into those. Then run a query to select the desired information.
