Retrieving Category and Board Names
StormChaser83:
I backed up all of my files from the public_html folder before closing down my site. Now, i am wanting to re-open it under a different domain name. I'm not too worried about keeping all of the posts or database tables. . . . Is there any possible way i could find out the names of my category and boards by looking under a file in the backup that i created?

Any detail of the board names, categories, and even post content is part of your database, not the html (actually they are mostly php) files.

So, i'm pretty much screwed then? That's nice. . LOL. . . . I thought when i did the back up, it would back up the databases, too. .

When you backup your files on your server it wont backup the database so unless you have taken a database backup you wont be able to get that information back. Have a look at the below article for future reference.

I'm honestly not sure if this is the same over at hosting24.com. . . They told me that when i did a FULL website backup at hosting24.com, they said my database was included.. . . But honestly, i'm not sure. I can't seem to find the file that holds the database information
