Hi to all
I am trying to restore vb forum from a backed DB copy by the host;
file manager in cpanel shows DB size= 2.6 G
phpmyadmin shows 0 tables for the backup db
while it shows 219 for the current working DB.

My question: how the tables are created in the backup
or how can I get the forum restored from the backup copy when it has NO tables ?

notes:
phpMyAdmin - 2.11.9.4
MySQL client version: 4.1.22
forum: running on VB 3.8.4

Regards
Bill

how can I get the forum restored from the backup copy when it has NO tables ?

Well, if it has no tables, then it means that it was not backed up.
Never used a control panel, so I cannot tell much more, but you cannot have a DB backup that holds no tables and restore them.

If you have no tables, you have no datas

Thank you Triby for your prompt reply; I will contact the host admin and repost results here.

Best regards
Bill
