In your cpanel you will find a MySQL backup/restore function thats the easiest way. cPanel Docs are here http://www.cpanel.net/support/docs/11/cpanel/index.html Sam Remember, What you think I ment may not be what I thought I ment when I said it. Contributions: Auto Backup your Database, Easy way Multi Images with Fancy Pop-ups, Easy way Products in columns with multi buy etc etc Disable any Category or Product, Easy way Secure & Improve your account pages et al.

ErikMM Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 2.3.1 I have several back ups in Admin. My last one was made right before I was going to try a new add-on. In fact, I believe all my backups are right before add ons or contributions. Anyway, when I hit the restore button in Admin I am am kicked back out to the Admin log-in page. When I log back in I can see "Last Restoration." It looks like the restore took, but the site is still "broken" despite the fact that the db I restored was working fine. I tried several old back ups to no avail. The db size is only 419,906 bytes. Before I tried the restore in Admin, I made changes manually: I reverted back to older code that I saved in word pad-- deleting the newer code and pasting + saving older/original code. This always worked in the past, but now it wasn't taking. I figured a restore was in order. However, in oSc Admin the restore doesn't seem to take. Which led me to phpMyAdmin, but I don't see anything in regards to back ups etc. In Oscommerce Admin I can see all the old restore points. Where would they be in phpMyAdmin or how do I call up an older database? I have used google and oSc searches, but have not found a how-to-for-dummies on restore if it doesn't work in Admin. a-how-to-road-map 2.3.x road-map-for-the-newbies design basics how to make a horrible osC site ssl-how to updated-security-thread Web Developer, Firebug, and Notepad++ are powerful free tools for web design.
