Ok so I upgraded to 2.0 Beta and when I did I selected the option to back up the DB.   Can anyone tell me the file name that it backs it up as so I can restore my DB?

Any help would be great.

Welcome to SMF.

There should be tables called backup_ in the main forum database. Delete the other tables and rename backup_ to the same name without backup_ or use repair_settings.php to change the DB prefix. See: What is repair_settings.php?

Remember to upload the old files from 1.1.x if you haven't already

thank you very much.  Now i thought i backed up my public HTML folder but it didnt copy over all the files.  Is it possible for me to use the install or upgrade packages for 1.1.5 or 1.1.6 and copy them over??   If 1.1.5 please provide a DL link as i dont see it on the DL page anymore.

I appreciate all of the help you guys are offering.

You can just upload clean 1.1.6 files except for install.php and settings.php :)
