I don't know if there IS any information about restoring a couple of posts.

What I did, when a few of my longer posts were inadvertently truncated after an upgrade was:

Restore the entire backup to a new (empty) DB.
Use myPhpAdmin to Find the posts in question.
Cntl "C" copy the old (full) post_content field over the new (truncated) post_content.

You might find it easy enough to create a holder for those posts in your new version (empty posts with the correct title, date, categories, etc.). Then just copy the post_content from the restored DB.

Make sense?

Hope this helps.

so all the post would be stored in the database????....ok here is whats going on im getting ride of b2evolution and have the back up where can i look so i can kinda copy and paste one or two of the post ????

i also completely delete b2evoluton using fantastico...cuase i upgrade and everything was f-ed and i couldnt even get in the admin section but it did give me a back up of what i had...but i dont know what to do from here

osrry mods for the double post i did find the info i was looking for it was in the "backup" MySQL dump file with in the backup archive thank u if i have rep to give u i would

vash,

I'm sorry that you had problems when you upgraded. It's never nice to hear that someone is leaving.

However, if you DO have a backup (yes, all of the post data is stored in a DataBase) ... you should be able to access it, independently of a b2evolution install.

Of course, it's only the raw data, but may be enough to get you where you want to be.

Most web hosts have a utility called "phpMyAdmin" ... usually it can be found in the MySQL Account Maintenance area. It's a great tool for looking into the tables and fields of a MySQL DB.

You may even still have a good b2evolution DB to start from (may not need to restore from backup).

Anyway ... just fire off the phpMyAdmin interface, select your b2evolution DB, look in the evo_posts table for all the post-related information you may wish to extract.

The bad news is that you can only get at the raw data (though I'm sure there's a way to extract the data in a more usable format ... comma-delimited, TXT, ASCII, etc.)

Hope this helps.

thanks for your help i m useing cpanel so i used a auto install and the databased was uninstalled but i found the info i need within the mysql dump

No problem, glad you got it sorted.

Cheers,
