Is it possible to restore a deleted topic?
December 20, 2017, 06:41:53 am
I have daily backup. A moderator accidentally deleted a topic, that I would like to restore if possible, but the board has moved on so I can't restore to a backup. is there a way of just restoring the topic, and if so, how? Thanks.

hmm... I suppose you didn't set up a recycle board, right? That's a bit tricky. Even if you have a backup, doing it from the backup is not easy matter, it would be much easier to import the backup to a database and re-export only what is related to the specific topic. But is basically some manual work executing a set of queries (that at the moment I can't give you).

Fair enough...until one of my members mentioned it, I didn't know anything about a recycle board....how does one do that (for the future)? - forget that, checked the documentation and found it. I'd be interested to have a crack at it manually.......I can always backup before, and restore to that...so it's not a worry if I mess it up...but I would if possible like to recover the topic. If not, then I learn from the mistake. Thank you for your prompt reply. I'll be patient, obviously it's not your priority.
