Restore or import a .tar backup file.


Recommended Posts

I am trying out a test version of my invision community.  I have a backup .tar file from my actual community but I do not know how to get it from the file manager on the host into the new test community.  Looking all over the Admin CP for that option.  Search bar finds nothing.

Clues welcome.

A tar file is like a ZIP file. You need to decompress it. The IPB software has no concept of generating or restoring a backup. You do that with your hosting provider.  

Once the files and databases are there, you can edit IPBs config file (conf_global.php) to point it to any new URL or database login details.
