Great Tutorial, only one thing lacking. Since it is talking about getting your forum re-established when broke by a mod, wouldn't be more complete if it had say a one sentence or phrase that tells you how to actually practically restore the whole thing than just tell you where to find the fie to restore?

Like after you find xxxx then do A and then B and then C for example?

I mean I am just saying I guess most people here might know how to do that but some might not.

What more information could there be in that description than there is already? Not everyone keeps those backups, not everyone has them enabled, and the backups are going to be very specific to every installation...

If you read it, again, it does exactly that.

this may sound like a dumb question, but how do you dearchive it to see the files in the .tar?

kat · « **Reply #30 on:** April 11, 2011, 08:22:59 AM »

Use a dearchiving program, such as Winzip, WinRar, etc.

Thanks for sharing.
Because I didn't back up when I installed my SMF 1.13.

savy118 · « **Reply #34 on:** April 23, 2011, 11:49:02 AM »

so as im new , and to help me undersdtand before we install mods we must back up first, and creates the file which is downloaded to pc, so when we restore can we just upload packages and leave it as the one file or do we have to uncompress it first, as im using smf 2.0 rc5.
also if my forum has a lot of pictures will this be lost in back up if something goes wrong as i see it doesnt save jpg which is inportant and could be a huge amount of memory.

thanks savy
