CarBuilders Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Hi, I have an issue - deleted a few forums and the posts in our PROD environment and noticed it to late. The backup is too old. I have restored the site and database on a TEST environment before the "accident" and cleaned everything up so only the missing forums and posts are left (and the users etc around it). Now I would like to move/copy these from TEST DB to PROD DB and hence I asked for support but it's not supported or recommended by Invision. So I reaching out here - anyone that have done this and can throw some light on it? Both TEST and PROD run the latest IPS (4.3.1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optic14 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Hi @Locost How long ago did you delete the items? You might be able to restore the deleted items in Mod CP > Deleted Items ( yourIPSURL/modcp/deleted/ ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarBuilders Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 Nope, but I have now restored the DB a few days back and lost some info ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optic14 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I had a look at the inbuilt Converter app and it looks like IPS is in the software list. I haven't tried it myself but maybe you can use that to import your test database? Of course then you would have a 2nd set of topics/users in your forum. It would be a mighty job to delete the duplicates.. Other than that I don't see any other alternative. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
